difa, welcome to the bandster club!!!!!

try to rest and take your pain meds to ease the pain.

The first few days are the worst. Also, if you're having chills and feel warm, take your temp.

If you're running a fever over 100 call your surgeons office. I'm not sure if it's normal to run a fever after surgery, but you should definitely call the doctor if you are. It could be a sign of infection if its high.

Remember to take walks periodically.. it helps with the shoulder pain. I also used a heating pad on my back and shoulders for the first week. It was super soothing.

Good luck difa!! We are here for you!

It took me a full week to feel human again. You might want to check your temperature and make sure you're not running a fever though.

Its just 99.0 degrees. Took my script and I was fine.

Also while I know it's hard when you are feeling crappy but it's important to walk around. Even if it's just making a circuit of your house. Blood clots can happen post op if you are not up and about on a regular basis.
