How long was t before the pain/discomfort went away?



Recommended Posts

everyone is different but my recovery was good. In the hospital I could get up and walk around with very little discomfort

at home I camped out in our recliner, going from sitting to standing, or standing to sitting put pressure on the incisions and that hurt some,especially the main incision. And laying flat put a lot of pressure the first week and a half or so so I slept in the recliner at a 45 degree angle. The biggest complaint I had was back pain and that lasted a month-ish. But I never had to take a single pain pill, not even a tylenol

Thank you Sophie! I was able to walk around the hospital with very little issue as well. Now that I'm home I seemingly feel less discomfort when I'm sitting up than I do laying down. My back is bothering me as well. Thanks for sharing!
