It is just under a fortnight since I had my keyhole total hysterectomy.
I am suffering a lot of pain with weeing and pooing.
I take 1000mg paracetemol four times a day and 240mg codeine spread through the day.
I am using lactulose.
I am physically weeing and pooing okay but it hurts so much. I have found with my wee that if I set my phone alarm to go off every 90 minutes and wee then - it hurts less. If I fall asleep and wake up needing to wee it is absolute agony.
I am trying to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated but I am tempted to not drink properly to avoid the pain of going to the loo. The difficulty is when I have clenched to stop accidents and then trying to relax to let the wee out. It isn't like cystitis - it doesn't hurt in my urethra - it hurts in my bladder. Last night I avoided the pain after a terrible earth shattering painful wee that made me see grey in front of my eyes - by waking every thirty minutes and going to wee a little bit each time. But I was exhausted in the morning.
Is this something that happens as part of the situation and does it clear up or should I be worried about it?
Hello Headless Chicken
These are worrying symptoms that need assessing now.
Please give your CNS/GP a call and get checked today.
This is not a time to wait to see if it gets better- they are not symptoms that would be expected and they need assessing urgently.
