REALLY Painful sex - 12 weeks post-op
OK, ladies, I could use some advice. My DH and I waited until the doctor cleared me for sex, and found that (careful) sex was awesome.
We obviously got a little too comfortable last night, and I think we overdid it. I felt sharp pain during deep penetration, and have been having sharp pain, cramping, swelling since then (just below my belly button). Strangely, there hasn't been much bleeding, just light spotting.
I've been taking ibuprofen to take the edge off the pain, but 12 hours later, am still in pretty significant discomfort. I just started a new job, so my health insurance doesn't start until 5/1, AND I have no time off to take! Am freaking out a bit, so would appreciate any advice you can give! Do I need to see my doc or an I take a "wait-and-see" approach? Anything else I can do from home to get past this?
Sorry for the new post-op'ers...I don't want to scare anyone, but could really use some guidance!

I would maybe call the Dr. in the a.m. unless you are really hurting. Maybe by morning it will be better. Since you are 12 weeks out and you got the ok hopefully it will pass...just take it easy next time =)!!!!

Re: REALLY Painful sex - 12 weeks post-op
Hi,
I think you should call your Doctor, let him decide if he needs to see you or not. At 12 weeks post op, that kind of pain and swelling is not the norm. You may have something going on that needs to be taken care of.
Let us know what your says.
