4 days post hysterectomy

I am 4 days po. Surgery was jan 21. I had hysterectomy (uterus and tubes removed). Umbilical hernia repair, cervical prolapse repair (mesh attached to tailbone), and urethra tbt. I went home with a catheter because I couldn't empty bladder completely on my own (hoping to get it out tomorrow), and my low back is killing me (not sure if this is surgery related). Stitches are sore but seem to be better each day and I have a little pain in the lower right side. Hoping each day gets easier!

I had the low back pain as well for a few days!!
I think it's the positioning for the surgery.
I was using icy hot for a few days and then a heating pad.
It gets better!
Hope every day gets better and better!!
