Hi new mom,
Congratulations on the surgery! So glad that's over for you and you're home beginning your recovery.
You've had a whole heck of a lot done to your backside and I'm gonna have to think that this
recovery would cause you more pain than you may have expected :( . I'm assuming that the first day or even two out of surgery, swelling in that area is actually progressing from the procedures. IMO, even with just a lis, it takes time for the area to swell to it's max, before it begins to dissipate. If I am right, then possibly that is what's happening, and combined with the fact that you are using the area for bm's, and possibly walking and sitting somewhat, it's causing you more pain now than it did initially
.
I'm hoping it's something this simple and that your surgeon can possibly offer you something else in the way of pain management to get you through this rough patch
. Stay positive new mom...I had lis, tag and 3 hemmies removed in one shot and experienced 10 days of pretty intense burning along with incision site soreness...but I found a bright side in no more spasms
! You had significantly more done...so the pain and soreness is, IMO, inevitable and expected. Hopefully you can see a bright side in believing that you are now on the true path to recovery and healing. There is finally an end in sight
Please let us know what the doc says, and my prayers are with you for more comfortable days, and complete healing...
Angel
