Hello all,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on here to give an update...I have been in quite a bit of pain. I was in the hospital for 8 days and had some problems with my GI tract so they had to put a rectal catheter in (not comfortable, believe me). So far my pain has been pretty intense and not at all what I expected. Everyday seems to get a little better but at night is the worst. I try to walk and do what i can to stay loose but at night my muscles seem to tighten up. I am taking vicodin, percocet and flexeril for pain. I have not had a bowel movement for 10 days and that was a big concern for the doctors but they said it will come if I just keep taking stool softeners and milk of mag. My correction went great! Everything looks good and the only thing i have to do now is wait for all the swelling and bloating to go down. Has anyone had any issues with hypersensitive skin surrounding the wound and on the butt/hips area? My skin feels like it is badly sunburned and it stings when i pull my pants over my hips. If so, what did you do for it? I think this is all I can type now. As we speak, my drugs are kicking in and I am getting verryyy sleepy.
