Pain

Has anyone had quite a bit of pain 2 days post op? Just want to make sure that this is normal.

I hated day 2. I took the medication they gave me almost on schedule. Every day after that got better though!

Hi there,

just checking in to see how you’re feeling today. Has the pain improved?

Somewhat. I have a large bruise around the largest incision and have continued to take my pain meds every 6 hours. I’m sure it will get better but I am going to take off most of next week from my job as well. Thanks so much for checking on me❤️What a sweetheart!!!

Just make sure you call your surgeon if your incision looks infected. Glad you’re taking it easy next week. I plan on taking 2 weeks off after surgery.

Thank you!!! I’m getting very scared now and pray I’m making the right decision.

I’m having my husband check it out each night. I’m still really swollen and I’m sure I will be for awhile. When is your surgery date?

I find out my date on Tuesday when I see the surgeon. I’m thinking it will be in late June or early July.
