I have been switched!!
The early pain always reminded me of severely pulled stomach muscles. Which I guess makes sense
in a way. It seemed to hit me at kind of the midway point when getting up from a sitting position. Not bad
sitting or standing - just general soreness then but the transition would sometimes catch me by surprise.
My nausea was not bad after the first week although they kept me on meds for 6 months.
Good for you to have the most frightening part over. Hopefully every issue now is one you can just
figure out with a little help. I always find that easier than just counting on the surgeon to do a good job.
