Hello, all! I'm new to the site and have a few questions for my fellow gals suffering with endo and PCOS.

On October 22, I had a endoscopy, D&C and IUD placement surgery. Everything is healing good, but I've never had a surgery like this and don't know what's "normal" while I heal.

First off, I have an incision in my belly button and it's not sore or red but is EXTREMELY itchy and had started peeling.

Also, my doctor warned me that I would be cramping post-surgery but the pain is almost unbearable. Some days I can't get out of bed but I don't want to take the narcotics she gave because of the risks associated with them.

Finally, I've had a UTI from the catheter for a week now and nothing is helping!

Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
