Having more bad days now tho. These past few days had a lot of dragging pain deep inside my stomach. When i go the loo it also feels like its all swollen inside. I've started bleeding now too. Only a little but still is this normal?
I know i shouldn't but i went to a airshow today and all day i had the feel of dragging pain and sciatica. Also couldn't for the love of me keep warm.
Soon as i got home i had a hot bath and felt great again. The pains ive been getting tho are keeping me awake at night. Horrible pressure pains too as tho everything is gonna fall out. Anyone else have this feeling after there op x

Hi, I am 3 weeks today post op and I have the same feeling down below that feels like there is something falling out but after reading others stories this seems normal. I have pain and tightness in tummy when I need loo but am not constipated (other way if anything) I have been told this is basically the bruising from the op and it should pass. Take things slowly and rest when you need to. Take care xx
Oh Sarah I feel your pain.... hot baths work wonders. I've just been physically burning myself out and I need to stop. Going to a party next Sat have to go too as it's my brothers reception.
But will definitly be the one sitting down all night. I changed all the bedding in the house today and after feeling good when I woke up I was sore again. I won't learn at all.
Take it easy as changing the beds is quite demanding at this stage for you. Best thing for the party is to get plenty of rest before and after it and to take it easy while you at the party. Try not to overdo things. I know it's easier said than done as I getting bored and think of things I could be doing round the house but then stop myself as I know it will set back my healing.
Yes, I was/am the same. You are doing really well to be out and about 😊 I had a night out on day 15 and I spent the best part of two days lying down after due to tiredness. I am slowly improving, but if I do too much I get swollen and sore in my abdomen. It's just part of the healing. Don't skimp on the painkillers as they are anti inflammatory. Paracetamol are very safe.
With regards to bleeding, I stopped and then started again so I think it's normal.
Also week 3 was tough after feeling better in week 2, but it could have been after my night out!
It's hard right now when we want to be fit and well but it's very early days yet. Take care and very best wishes 😊
It's hard to accept that you need to rest 😕 But it really is the only way to heal.
I listen to music or download short stories or podcasts on my phone whilst I'm lying in bed 😊 If you can rest couple of hours twice a day in a couple of weeks you will really feel the benefit 😊
Hi Hun it's normal. You maybe doing to much. I was exactly the same except the bleeding as I never bled at all. Although even at six weeks I was told I would at some point , I never did. Take things a bit easier Hun. I know it's hard , but you need to remember your body has been through a hell of a lot. It needs to heal inside and that means rest.
Feeling ok thanks, taking recovery slowly, 3.5 weeks post TLH and BSO to remove everything and unblock both Fallopian tubes, extensive adhesiolysis as there was extensive adhesions which covered uterus so much that it couldn't be seen when first went in and adhesions also obliterated my pouch of Douglas. Pathology came back saying adenomyosis had been found but nothing mentioned earlier about any endo so hopefully none there. See my surgeon at end of month so will ask him everything then. Xx
My after care advice very minimal too, but have spoken to others, also couple of nurses I know 😊 If you feel pain, or swelling, or increased bleeding it's a sign you need more rest 😕 Walking gently for about 10 minutes and very light housework ie folding laundry is all you should be doing 😊
Yes, just often wake early 😊 Trust me, if you do too much you will know. Resting does pay off long term although it is very frustrating!!I'm 3 1/2 weeks, feeling stronger every day 😊 Really turned a corner. You will be here in two short weeks. If you over do it now you could cause problems internally and that will set you back weeks, please be careful Hun xx
