Pain making me paranoid….

Hi everyone I’m sitting in bed at 5am pod3 not being able to sleep for the pain it’s unbearable and only seems to be getting worse. I thought it was going to be easy I sailed through the first 2 days and nights and now I feel like I have been hit by a truck. . . And to top it off the cocodamol makes me feel so ill and lightheaded I don’t like taking it.
I’m not sure if this is just me but every little different pain is making me paranoid something is not right like a couple of hours ago I got a little pain in my leg and I have fretted about it ever since..

DONT PANIC! Everyone recovers differently!
PO night 3-5 was HELL for me, I also upped my pain killers and ice packs and heat packs everywhere and refused to even open my mouth to speak to anyone for two days because I was in so much discomfort!
I’m PO day 11 today and still wake up 2 or 3 times in the night but when I’m sat snug on the sofa and keep still I feel 0 pain now.. I just ache on my chest and back when I’m up and about for too long
Every few hours your pain and discomfort will change a little and something else will hurt and something else will stop, it’s so weird. Just hang in there and you will be over the worst part soon <3 xxx

Your totally right. I’m just at that stage where it’s hard to see the light at end of the tunnel, and I hate being stuck not being able to do anything for long periods it drives me crazy which makes me stress even more ha ..I still love them so that’s getting me through it thanks for the support it was much needed xx

Hi Angela
Hang on in there it does get better. My days 3-5 were an absolute nightmare, upped pain killers, ice etc. The lack of sleep, the pain and the inability to do anything without something hurting definitely takes its toll. I have to be honest I did spend most of first week and a half in tears! But day 11 came and it got a bit better. Then a bit more everyday. I will be 6wks on Tuesday and I feel like me again. I hated my decision to have surgery so many times but it really did pass xx

Hi don’t get yourself too worried, everyone deals with pain differently and the first few days I think your still abit numb from the operation. The first 10 days is the hardest I would say. Hope u get through it without too much pain xx
