LSH wish I was doing better

I am in a whole lot more pain that I expected and my entire body aches, unbelievably aches. My feet are so swollen I can hardly walk and I cannot bend my toes. Has anyone else had their arms and legs muscles feel like they have been lifting weights for hours. I can hardly lift my arms they hurt so bad. And I haven't even got to the gas pains, and the inability to have a bm. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hi!

Oh my, that all sounds very miserable! It doesn't sound normal to me for recovery from any kind of hysterectomy, either. Have you called your doctor with the symptoms you are having? If not, please do and let us know what your doctor says, okay?

I'm sending s and best wishes for your recovery.

I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad. Are you able to take motrine, because that may help with the aches. Also, you should be sure to drink water. If you have a fever you should call you dr. Someone on the site suggested eating canned peaches for constipation. I used colace and enemas, but I would not suggest you use them without consulting your dr. I know you feel awful, but just take it one day at a time and things will improve.

i'm sorry you dont feel better. you should probably call your dr and let him know about the swelling and how much pain youre in. did you come home the same day as your surgery? do you have good pain meds? try to rest as much as you can. i was surprised at how much pain i had with the lsh for the first 48 hours. i dont remember my arms and legs hurting but i did have the shoulder pain from the lap, along with abdominal pain.
dont forget that you just had major surgery...and get well soon.
