17 days post lap, bleeding and pain terrible!

Can anyone give any advice?

I’m of the understanding that the first period after excision surgery is bad, but I seem to be going backwards in my recovery?

The pain has been debilitating and I’ve had to delay my return to work.

Does anyone have any advice? Or encouraging words?

I will speak to my GP and/or Clinic tomorrow if I wake up in the same state I did this morning.

Many thanks! x

Oh I do feel for you 😔 it took me a good 3 weeks until I felt like I was recovering. When did your period start? Mine was awful but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I would ring the gp, they can hopefully give you some more pain killers 💓

Thanks for your reply!

It started last Thursday 😵‍💫

I’m pleased to hear there is light at the end of the tunnel. 🙌🏼

my first one was awful. I had to get signed off work another week as I physically couldn’t move from the pain.
