post op back pain
I am 4 days post dVH (total, no lymph nodes taken). This morning the right side of my back is really tight and sore. Could this be from getting in and out of bed on that side? Maybe I am using those muscles more because I don't want to use my abdominal muscles. I am taking ibuprofen to manage any discomfort but it is not helping this. Suggestions?
Also I have seen people posting about using a heating pad, does that help? What about cold packs? Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks

Re: post op back pain
Hi Kodaiwoman and welcome to the other side. Seems back ache is really common due to partly the reason you suggest but also from the weird and wonderful positions they get us into on the operating table. I found a cold pack better for my backache than heat but i think we're all different so it maybe worth trying each one and seeing how you get on. If you can also get someone to very, very gently rub the sore area, that can help (but no pounding or kneading). Happy healing.
