3 weeks post op...when do your insides stop hurting.
I am healing well. My doctor said I am 2 weeks ahead of schedule in my activity. But movement still hurts in general. Bending over to tie shoes, any thing that causes bounce, too much movement throughout the day, still some twinges when rolling over at night. For those who were cut open and did well in recovery, when did you notice that you didn't really hurt anymore and felt normal?

Re: 3 weeks post op...when do your insides stop hurting.
I can't answer when it will end, but I'm feeling similar belly aches and pains. I'm one day behind you (vertical incision), going through recovery with no complications. I still get cramps, twinges, stabs, and this morning, moderate pain in my lower right side (possibly from taking a second 30 minute walk yesterday evening).
Hope we both get there soon! I have my 3 week post op this afternoon, so we'll see what she says.

Re: 3 weeks post op...when do your insides stop hurting.
I was wondering the same thing. I have problems with sleeping well rolling over. If I walk to much I'm exhausted and so much pain. I feel more swollen on some days then others in belly area even tho not gained any weight. I also had to start using pain medication again. I had lap surgery which turned into TAH due to stage 4 endometerosis I've been told I have a long road ahead of me recovery wise

Re: 3 weeks post op...when do your insides stop hurting.
I had davinci, but i had achy feelings for about five weeks, a tad more, in my back and abdomen. I never had sharp pain, except when i had a bout of gas the second night. Just an ache like i worked out too much. Now i feel nothing. I had lots of adhesions so others may heal quicker. Happy healing!

You and I are in the exact same place. Appropriately so since our surgeries were on the same day. Belly swollen somedays more than others. Exhaustion and pain if I do a little too much, though I feel great while doing it. I just wanna feel human again, like I won't overdo it if I pursue a little more than yesterday. :-/. Or if I get caught for 4 hours sitting in an uncomfortable chair at my husband's doctors appointment (like today). :-)

Re: 3 weeks post op...when do your insides stop hurting.
I am four months out from TAH/BSO and I am glad to tell you ladies it does get better it is a slow process most the time but by 8weeks I was pretty much back to normal except I have one spot where my left ovary used to be that I sometimes still get twinges of pain in but other that it starts looking good around week 5 but don't let week 3 get you down because I found I had days during that week that I felt worse than week 1.

Re: 3 weeks post op...when do your insides stop hurting.
For me, my most pain/discomfort finally ended by week 4, I still have some discomfort only from my incision site that decided to separate. Which I'm packing it up to 3x's a day. I'm just ready for all that to be done.

Re: 3 weeks post op...when do your insides stop hurting.
I just hit my 6 week mark & have found that most of my twinges are gone. I still take Aleve all day & @ least 1 narcotic. I can feel it inside if I move a wrong way. My problem is groin pain & pains deep inside my vagina, I think it may be my cuff. I see my dr on tues for post op appt. I still get tired a lot!
