Apple2 9 Posted August 4, 2017 When does the pain start easy up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammie1221 21 Posted August 5, 2017 I'm sure you know the everyone is different! However, I never really had much pain as I did soreness. I use to get stiff ( still not as much now) if I lay or seat in the same position too long. When I was in the recovery at the hospital my pain was a 6 and it was down hill from then. When I was d/c my pain was like a 4 and by day 4 or 5 was I two and now 0. I am 10 days out and make over 10,000 steps twice this week and avg. about 6,000 the other days. I do everything lift, dance, walk, sometime forgetting I just had surgery. Give yourself time and do as much as you can. listen to your body but I believe the more you move the less you feel and the faster you heal!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery. 3 Apple2, Mrs.J and OhioMary reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KellyF1 2 Posted August 14, 2017 When does the pain start easy up? It does...little by little, everyday gets better! The more active you are, the faster you will feel better. Just a short walk 3 times a day will help you tremendously! Then when you start soft foods, take a short walk after each "meal", that helps a ton too! Good luck!

crocodoxie 223 Posted August 14, 2017 I found at about 6 days, I'd turned a corner, but everybody heals so differently. It was like it went from pain to only hurt/discomfort. Every day got easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chryss 61 Posted August 15, 2017 Once discomfort started I used a heating pad and never took my brace off. It gave me great relief and I felt 100 percent better about a week after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
