Worried Post....

[pinkbwlr16 20]

I had surgery on the 21st. Other thank walking I've done quite a bit of relaxing. The last couple of days when I go to get outta bed and stand up straight or get up off the toilet, it feels like my largest incision is ripping. This just happened again and brought me to tears. Is anyone going through this or should I call my on call nurse?

That happened to me as well. I was wondering when it would stop. And I even posted the question here. But for me it all stopped at 3 1/2 weeks. I started to forget about it at week 3 then I'd move wrong But it totally went away at 3 1/2. Good luck.

Not sleeved yet but I am so sorry to hear this. I think if ever in doubt call the nurse. Can you see anything? Maybe hold a pillow on it when you go to get up, like a little travel pillow. I am sure somebody experienced will chime in but I wanted you to know I care. Hope you are better soon.

Wow that long? Glad to know its not just me and I ripped something. Thank you for the post Jason.

I can't seen anything and nothing is coming or oozing out of my incision. I use a firm bed pillow and always hold it when getting outta bed. Might need to start using it when getting up from the toilet too. Thank you for caring!!

Yep a couple week post op you should be good. At 6 days post op I got a trigger point injection around my biggest incision and the next morning a felt like a normal person. Maybe that might be an option?

Not a problem. I was outside working on my boat trailer I was in pain but I'm too hardheaded to ask for help. Im 7 weeks out now and fully realesed. Now kiteboarding and running and lifting weights.

It gets so much better. Don't sweat it.

Never heard of that before. Did you get it from your surgeon? I will definitely have to see if that's an option for me. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes I called my surgeons office and told them I wasn't getting any pain relief and I went in and a PA at my surgeons office did the injection. It was numbing medicine and steroids to help with the inflammation. I was taking liquid percocet and getting absolutely no relief. After the injection I needed no pain meds.

Thank you for sharing that idea with me. Definitely gonna call them on Monday and see if they will help me out.

I had this pain too. It stopped around the beginning of week 3, but still flares up if I push myself too hard walking or something. You'll feel better soon =)
