TAH One Week Post Op, Pain??

Hello all you beautiful ladies!!! I am 22 years old and had total abdominal hyster February 12th. My surgery went great just in recovery mode. I have seen on a few other post that rectal pain/spasms have been felt. I have had some what regular bm's (I have IBS). I have been experiencing sever constant pain in that area as well as I guess my tail bone area. Have you all had that? As well as I have sever bruising on one side only. Normal or not? Sorry ladies I'm just a little worried and don't see the DR till next Thursday.

Hey there
All the pains you are having are exactly what I went through, and its a combination of gas pains in the bowel settling down, and my tail bone area was awful, only way I was comfortable was reclining or laying down. I purchased a half moon memory pillow which I place just behind the tail bone, which helped alot. It is only this week leading up to my 5 weeks post op tomorrow that those pains are nearly finally behind me! This is a major operation we girls have had, especially with the TAH where they have cut through lots of layers of nerves (my whole tummy was a bruise which has now finally disappeared. I would say though, that if you are worried, give the doc a call just for your peace of mind. I would say that its only as I hit week 4 that I started to feel half human! Rest up, lots of fluids and take it easy gals xxxx

Arr thankyou hunnie this has been a big help hope you are well fellow hyster sisterx

Thank you!!! This site has been a blessing. I usually have a belly band on an the pain only happens when its off. I know it's only been a week but my goodness I can't wait to feel better yet. Thank you again. oh yeah. Have any of you found a relief for the gas like, walking, bending..etc?

Yep this site is a blessing, and if I can help anyone by return .... :-). Walking around is the best thing for getting rid of those gas pains. I can promise you that by week 3 I was parping like a trooper with no problems ( much to my hubby's disgust ;-) I also took an over the counter tablet called windeez after food and before bed which helped that gas along

Hi mrshawkey nice to see someone else from the uk on here I've been lucky and have not had to much problem with the gas just painful bowel movements I'm now ten days post op .

Your'll have good days and bad days, as I said it has only been this past week that I have started to feel half human! I had to train my brain to remember this isn't a quick recovery and it's okay to rest up x
