I had my surgery on Monday and the only times I felt enough pain to complain were immediately after surgery, but really it was the nausea from the anesthesia that affected me the most. When I was brought to my room I asked to walk right away to the bathroom, they were surprised but I was determined and successful. The second time I had a lot of pain was when my IV was removed due to my hand swelling and for 45 minutes Monday night I was off my IV pain meds and liquids. Other than that it is just uncomfortable and once I went home 2 and a half days after surgery I immediately started feeling better.
