Is this anything related to the op or just a bug? Feel as bad now as i did the day after surgery yet more sick. Had 3 weeks off work, 1st week back at work last week then a busy weekend - have i just done too much too soon?

Hate feeling so crap :(

Hi Crawfie - I feel exactly the same as you and I know how awful it feels - I take prochlorperazine 3mg buccal - you can get them over the counter at a chemist. Just place one in your mouth and let it melt - which is a blessing when you cant swallow. They taste awful but it distracts you from feeling feeling sick - it also deals with the dizziness.

Hope they help you as much as they help me. Oh, sometimes one isn't enough and I take another one straight after - this differs from the instructions xxxx

Hi Crawfie,

have you been back to your doctor and asked him/her to check you over?

I think it would be worth doing so. Surgery knocks you for six, and we should never underestimate how much it does so, but having been in a position where I had a very serious post-op infection, I am now wary about hesitating. The key thing for me was that rather than gradually improving, as one normally does after surgery, I was getting worse, and it took me a while to realise something was wrong, I just thought I had a UTI.

There could be any number of reasons why you feel sick, including being anaemic, so I would advise you to see your physician and put your mind at rest. I do hope you start to feel better soon

Not what you're looking for?
