Post op pain

Hi  Fudgeface,

I can't say I was in pain after 3 weeks, but I certainly wasn't totally comfortable. 3 weeks is not long to get over a big operation. We went away in our camper van after 3 weeks and I was worried about bending down to get pans (in the bottom cupboard). I managed carefully!!! I also think I was longer before I could turn over in bed. I was more than happy to sit and not move!!! I did stop painkillers when I got out of hospital because I wanted to get my bowels going.

It can't hurt to ring your CNS about it and see what she says. I went back to hospital 4 days after getting out to be checked, and they were lovely with me. My symptoms were just the bladder settling down after being bruised. I had niggles of pain for about 6 months afterwards. That felt more like nerve endings recovering.  xxxxx
