Help,3 mo po, sever swelling burning pain after moderate activity?
Hello Ladies, It's been 12 weeks since my surgery, and It's been going fairly well. I was released at 6 weeks to go back to normal routine. Well, that has yet to happen. I work but can't do anything strenous without horrible pain. I have an appointment in the morning, I can't take this anymore, they called in some darvocet for me.
I do well most days and started my exercise routine slowly. I started out walking at 6 weeks three days a week then added, walk/jogging, which is ok as long as I skip a day in between, and i have tried several time to progress to step aerobics or running.
I can't seem to do anything more than walk or walk/jog, without ending up with severe burning pain, pressure in my lower abdomen, and severe swelling like two inches out, and horrible sharp pains about where my ovaries are, that lasts for hours and sometimes a day or two. It feel like pressure inside about to explode, like I'm on fire inside from hip to hip. I can't do anything but recline without being in severe pain. Sitting is horrile, gets worse the longer I sit, and standing is better than sitting.
The nurse said since I was so active before, that this isn't normal. I know what you all must be thinking "Im overdoing it" maybe, but I should be able to do some core work without ending up in bed for a day or so. I've taken breaks of several days til pain subsides, then try it again...and bam I'm in the chair.
What can it be? I was running, doing aerobics several days a week before. I don't think yoga, or moderate core work should cause this! I know it's major surgery, but even my nurse thinks it's bizaar. Could it be a hernia, or bowel obstruction, or simply I'm just a slow healer (not normally) and overdoing it?

Hi Jenifer,
I'm giving your post a bump up - hopefully someone can give you some insight. Sorry you're having such pain.
I'm new in the recovery process so can't really comment other than to say I hope your doc appt was able to give you some answers.
I hope you're feeling better soon!
