2 weeks post hysterectomy: Bending and reaching
I had my surgery 16 days ago. When can I start to bend, and reach for items? I'm still having discomfort from my right side. I'm hoping that this will resolve soon.

Re: Bending and reaching
It took me at least 21 days, but at 4 weeks I felt much better, and now at 5 weeks much, much better! I can tell everyday I'm improving! It's just a very slow healing process! My advice: Rest, rest, rest...it's a powerful weapon!!👊

Re: Bending and reaching
I was never restricted from bending or reaching. I did it from the beginning, but of course in moderation.

Re: Bending and reaching
Good question. Bending bothers me. I limit it but you don't realize how much bending over you do during the course of a normal day. I do better with "reaching." I had a LAVH on 1/16.

Re: Bending and reaching
I can bend better than reach with less pain. I am only one week post but I do not do all the time and I rest and certainly do not overdue it. My MIL got me a grabber so that helps a lot!,good luck!!

Re: 2 weeks post hysterectomy: Bending and reaching
I overdid it with the bending/reaching at 2.5 weeks. Don't do too much please. Take it easy on yourself - I set my recovery back a few days. I can tell you that by week 5.5 I was feeling awesome! So take the time (I know - it's soooo hard) and let your body heal
