I have had a hell of a time the operation became complex and lasted four half five hours why I know this is that my hubby got worried after three three half hours as no phone call he was told I was still in theatre and they would call once in recovery at the five hour mark hubby got a phone call from the surgeon stating that I had lost a lot of blood and was just shy of a blood transfusion, that thinks had become complex due to problems getting my womb out due to unexpected large fibroids plus issues elsewhere, I have a large incision across my stomach with over 20 staples, the surgeon didn't want me getting open surgery as he said I wouldn't come off the table alive.
In recovery I remember begging for someone to help me with pain in my shoulders especially my right shoulder I even said please listen / here me the pain is excruciating (and it was and still is) yes I was in pain the next day but I dragged myself out of bed and got a shower and sat up for a wee while in the chair ( the cover consultant was amazed and said "try not to do to much") I was worried about chest infections.
Anyway I had to go for a X-ray yesterday as the pain is a 10 plus on my right shoulder plus pain not as bad about 7 or 8 along longest incision and lots of cramps with gases.
Hi WILMA 08
Did the xray help identify the cause of you pain?
I am wishing you some much deserved relief and rest.
Hi WILMA 08
I hope the staple removal has at least subsided one of your discomforts.
You definitely sound like you've got a lot going on and I keeping my fingers tightly crossed that recovery becomes easier for you very soon.
So sorry to hear you have had these problems after your surgery … I had mine in 23rd may and recovering slowly but surely although I did have a nasty urine infection by day 7 … just think we have to listen to our bodies and try to rest as much as possible … good luck with your recovery
