Hello. My surgery date was 7/17/18. I just came home yesterday, and I was still ok on pain. I woke up this morning and every muscle in my body hurt. Is this normal? I know I was kept pretty doped up in the hospital after but, i was just a little worried by how weak I was and how sore... a little incite from people who have been here too would help my nerves a little. Thanks.

It's normal... For some insight, you aren't on any of the meds they were pumping into your IV now, so you are going to feel more. It'll go away. Being weak, tired and sore after major surgery is completely expected.

Thank you so much for your reply. This is the 1st surgery I have ever had, didnt really know what to expect on the pain part of it. Glad its normal.

No worries! For the first 2 weeks minimum, just take your time with EVERYTHING. Don't rush, don't stress, don't worry, just relax, follow your instructions to the best you can and REST REST REST! (outside of doing some walking every hour).
