Hello Jennali73
We are so happy that you found us!
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. How long are you walking…? Are those walks inside your house or outside and are there any hills involved?
Something to keep in mind is that you are in the early stages of your recovery from major surgery. The initial phase can take 4 to 6 weeks as you have many layers of tissue, muscle, ligaments and nerve-endings that not only regrow but try to establish normal functions again. Slow walks as you gradually begin to build up your energy and stamina again are helpful but it isn’t anything to strenuous. This allows for the opportunity to be able to stretch your body and also get your blood flowing a bit more. Generally within the first one to two weeks, walking in intervals of 5 to 10 mins will assist your body in graduating to a bit more advanced times.
The key to is also to listen to your body. It could be telling you that you are doing
too much too soon . If that is the case, dial your walks back just a little bit in order for your body to catch up. Could it be
bladder spasms or a potential UTI….? Only your doctor can answer that question. The bladder does act finicky after being disrupted also.
For peace of mind, put a call into your doctor’s office for any additional thoughts or suggestions. They will know the right questions to ask especially if they decide they want to see you for another appointment.
