Re: Aching and cold after tah
If you are having these symptoms suddenly, you should call your doctor! I was told that pain in my legs could mean blood clots and I should call immediately if I had that symptom. There should be an answering service after hours that can have your doctor or whoever is on call to call you right back.
Hopefully they went over bathing in your discharge instructions. My TAH was the same day as yours and they definitely told me no bath/soaking for a while but taking a shower and getting the incision wet is OK now.
I hope your doctor can reassure you about this and good luck!

Re: Aching and cold after tah
Hi there,
I am also 3 weeks post op. the cold is normal. i froze then blazed, froze then blazed. Unfortunately its no baths until cleared by the doc. I was lucky and was allowed to take bathes after my 2 week check up. You can take a hot shower though. I used one of those plastic lawn chairs in the shower with a towel over it. I would just sit and let the hot water pour over me. It really helped. It also really helped for bathing. The standing even a week after surgery was horrible. my back felt like it had no muscles in it at all.

Re: Aching and cold after tah
at 5 and 8 days post op I over did on both days. Then I felt like I was getting the flu or been hit by a truck. Nurse told me that is exactly how I'd feel if I over did it... so I'm "trying" to NOT over do it
I was told the same about taking a bath.... shower until doc says.
