Sarah_22 1 Posted June 9, 2012 I've been reading all these posts from ppl who feel great after surgery I've been able to walk around but I'm still in a lot of pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeani81 93 Posted June 9, 2012 I too was shocked after surgery with how much pain I was in and it lasted for a good 5 days before I was able to just sit up on my own. One thing I can say that saved me especially at night was buying a body pillow and instead of trying to get a good position I could use that and lay on my side. You will wake up one morning and feel so much better. Until that time relax and just heal up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
