When does it stop!

Hi guys! So I had surgery Monday, on day 4 of post op. When does the soreness start getting better. I found that today and yesterday I am SUPER sore on my big incision. When will I start feeling human again? I’m not on pin meds, only Tylenol.

    I had surgery on Tuesday and the soreness is the worst! Hopefully it'll get better for us soon! I have percocet, but honestly, I'm not sure how much it's helping—seems like it just makes me sleepy.

    Everyone is different. I was back to myself after 2 weeks. But once I started eating normally I would have pain on my upper incision near my stomach again. It will get better. Take it Day by day, wee

  • My doctor didn’t prescribe pain medicine. Just Tylenol which honestly I’m fine with because pain meds make me super nauseous anyway.

I had pain for about two weeks. Then in to my 3rd week I had awful pain below my left incision for about 9 days. Hurt to walk, breath, sit up. Doctor assured me this was normal, he said it was basically nerve pain. Luckily it too subsided and almost 6 weeks out I’m starting to feel normal. I went through a very difficult time emotionally too, it was hard to see the light. Best of luck!
Glad to hear things are finally smoothing out, yeah surgery even with the best of times " rocks our world" to the very foundations. Glad your path is looking clearer.

I'm 5 weeks out and am now having the nerve pain in my big incision. The surgeon said they did a deep stitch there because of the damage of the camera. It's been about a week but hope it gets better soon.

I am struggling hard with my fluid intake as well. If i try to force myself I feel over full and I've actually made myself nauseaous from forcing it down. Normal water is too heavy and hurts so am always having to flavour it.
