relief may be in sight!
I had one in each thigh and one in my arm.
They should give it to you in a different location each time. My OB uses it with c-section patients(OMG after 2 without and 1 with....why don't ALL docs use this!). I was up and walking and completely pain free the first night after Brooke was born! I kept asking the nurses where my pain went because for a couple of days you usually hurt....it's abdominal surgery for petes sake and that HURTS. Uh uh...nope. Not until they finished with my 3 days of Toridol and forgot to give me my anaprox to follow it. Then the achy started and I asked what was up with the pain taking 3 days to get to me. Got it all fixed up and that's all I had with a c-section...achy for about 1/2 hour. LOVE MY OB!
