 Did I Overdo It?

At three weeks post-op from my TAH I woke up at 3:00 AM with sharp pains in my back and tummy. Yes, I did walk quite a bit a two days ago, but felt fine and rested when I got home. I have had an incredibly easy recovery, with very little pain. But yesterday I found myself back in bed all day and back on the heavy duty pain meds. Did I overdo it?

Through the years, many members of Hystersisters.com have shared that they “hit a wall” at about 3-4 weeks post-op in their recovery timeline. One member reported, “I had been doing great. I was out moving around and beginning to do things…all of a sudden I felt like a truck had hit me. I had sharp pains in my belly and back and no energy. I ended up staying in bed for almost a day-and-a-half.”

In addition to following your doctor’s orders “to the letter” concerning resuming your physical activity, it’s important to “listen to your body” and obey the signals it is sending you. If you feel achy and sore, go to bed and rest. All types of hysterectomies are major surgeries. Be smart and invest some time and patience in your recovery. Your good sense in this regard will likely serve you well in the weeks, months, and years to come.
