PAIN

I am 4 days out and I am so sore, they keep saying walk. When will pain go away ??

Hello

I am eight days out.  The more you walk the better you will feel.  It helps move the air  along from the laparoscope.

do u feel better , After 8 day

I was up the night of surgery walking.  I didn't have much pain.  I have no pain now.  I am just very tired.

Hang in there and try to move a little.

I was up and walking a few hours after surgery and not much pain/discomfort at all. But, everyone has a different experience! Keep walking especially after meals. When I got home, I walked outside in the driveway back and forth or in the house if it was raining to start with and added more steps each day. I wore a pedometer and kept track of my steps, too! Walking helps with gas and digestion and you don't have to do a lot all at once, just do what you can as many times a day as you can. 

I am almost 6 weeks post op, been back to work for past 2 weeks (5 hours a day) and will be back full time on Monday. Just get enough protein each day, drink your fluids and take your vitamins and walk a little more each day!
 
One day at a time!! :)

 Taking my pain medication helped me to move around more.  This in turn helped me to relieve gas pains.  I say try not to be a hero and take your pain meds.  Why be in so much pain when you have a choice not to?  Hope you feel better soon.  Believe me it gets better every single day.  Try and be patient.  HUGS

i haven't posted in a while so you may be pain free by now but it seems to vary person to person, i was pain free once they took out that darn drain, it gets easier and easier, and do try and walk it really does help.good luck.
