Helen here, delayed treatment. Now had the op.
Day 1 felt great no pain just tired discharged ( later realised no pain as drugs from op still in system)
Day 2 BANG the pain was bad. Called doc and told her I was told to take paracetamol for any pain. She laughed and said "I wish some of these docs would try that after surgery" it is not strong enough. She prescribed proper painkillers.
Day 3 I am still weak and tired but the pain level is less. I feel I can start to look at what I need to do. Slow and easy lots of rest. Far more positive today.
If you are just emerging from the op take heart I was at the end yesterday thanks to this forum I have been helped and want to help others.
I am not through it I know I have bad days to come but think positive
