3 Days Post Op.....

[chris4 7]

They give you lots of pain meds. I had a drip post op while in the hospital. Now I have a liquid pain med I can take every 4 hours. The pain is manageable with meds

In my experience pain was only bad when I woke up in recovery but they quickly sedate you. I'm 5 days post op and in no pain at all.

The pain at the very beginning (day of surgery and day after) was more than I was expecting. But I also had a drip so I was able to stay on top of the pain. Use your pump! Days 2 and 3 the pain is only at the large incision and is mostly felt when first standing up and first sitting down. The pain meds really help. I also developed a cold so the coughing sucks! My first night home (day after surgery I tried to sleep in my bed. That was a mistake. I was super uncomfortable and felt like I could not move. The last two nights I have slept in a chair with my feet up and that was much better!

I have Tylenol with codeine prescribed to me but I only use it at night. You can take every 4 hours but I choose not too. I'm not big on meds.

Pain is only when I initially stand, sit or turn to my side when on the couch. Haven't attempted to lay in the bed (I have a platform bed and it's low).

Coughing definitely sucks because you feel everything.

I am very tired that I will say.

I'm also trying to get these fluids in because seeing my urine dark and feeling the slight tingle from it being so strong freaked me out a little.

Yes! Me too (had mine on the 16th) and it lasted about a week. Mine got way better (more predictable and less frequent) when I started Protein shakes. Hang in there, it gets better!
