Sore body

Hi Everyone, I had surgery on 2/10 and I'm doing okay. Although, the last couple of days I've noticed that my body is very sore. I feel like I have bruises everywhere, especially on my hips, butt, and legs. Everytime I sit I feel it, even when I lay on my side my hip hurts. Anyone else experience this? Thanks, Mary

did u have open surgery or lap? hope you feel better soon gb jess

Thankfully I had lap.

I'd ask your doctor, but if you're talking actual bruises, it may be the blood thinner they typically have patients on after surgery, which can give you a bruise with even a little bump. I do notice that I'm a little clumsier post-op too, so I tend to hit corners of tables, etc. a little more. Otherwise, the soreness I experienced came from a rented recliner (great for short naps, but terrible back/neck pain for anything longer) and from general inactivity. I try to walk around as much as possible.
