Incision burning today - any other 3 weekers have this?

Are you better from day 1 after surgery? That is all that has kept me sane these past days! I too am an active up and about Mom (and an RN to boot) please be as kind and gentle to yourself as you are to others! I too hurt beyond words to have a bm but once I got "regular" again it went away. I would just sit on the toilet and weep. It does get better however it gets better slowly. My thoughts and prayers are with you, aloha, Kai

lildar00 ~ I am new to hystersisters so I hope I'm not too late to your post, I understand your frustrations,, I had my surgery two weeks ago. Last week I was having the burning sensation on my incisioins. I called the dr. and they told me I was over doing myself. Funny thing is I wasn't doing much (frustrated). I'm like you, quick recovery in the past, up taking care of the house, etc... As much as we hate it our bodys tell take the healing slow and enjoy the down time.
Take Care,

Hi, I am also 3 weeks today. I feel the same things that you guoys are feeling. I have more pulling on the right side and I am guessing that is because I had my appendix out as well. I am haveing trouble with bm's as well. I am very tired and I go back to work 5/15. I haope I can do it. Any suggestions/ I guess we are all in this together. The pain I have now is nothing to the pain I was in for 7 months stright. Hope to talk to you guys

Thank you all for the support, yes it is better from day 1and I know in my heart it will get better with time I guess these walls are closing in on me and I have nothing else to focus on but my pain...thinking i need a hobby...lol I just wanted to say thank you and tell you all how great it is too have this support!! My family is great but they can only understand "so much" its great to have "sisters" who can understand

I feel the same way. It's just nice to know that there are sisters out there that are in the same boat I am in. Some days I feel like my walls are closing in to. I have done alot of reading which in my single parent life is none existant. I am starting to go for 1/2 hour walk a couple times a day also. I do thihs until my insision strts to hurt. I guess maybe I am doing to much. I just wish sometimes I could sleep thru the night. My three in the afternoon I am ready for a nap. I guess in time. It was very nice to hear from you. Write soon
