I am now on day 10 post open nephrectomy on my right side. I have noticed a difference in healing since I've got home and now I'm only taking paracetamol because the oramorph they sent me home with was causing really bad constipation and making the pain worse. My question is when were people able to lie in a bed/on their side in a bed? I have been sleeping on a recliner as every time I lay down it really hurts on my right side (inside) the same if i try and lay on my side there's a stabbing pain inside. I totally understand that its going to take time to recover just wanted some people's stories on when they were able to lie down again.
