Congratulations Rise, slow and easy now.....My first 6 weeks were basically a “survival mode” where every single moment was trying to get comfortable.This is the hard part of it all, and it will pass in time. These surgeries teach patience for sure. Improvement seems to come in staged events. After 4 weeks suddenly I felt around 10-20% better.
Remember, No bending, no, lifting, no twisting, and no falling allowed.
Medication management can be tricky in the early stages....keep notes in a notebook of all meds, BM’s, walks, food etc....
Reduction without withdrawing can be done at 20% per week.....Constipation seems to be the hardest thing, this has to be managed carefully. Warm prune juice seems to be the favorite, and having a bottle or 2 of Magnesium citrate is good to have “just in case”.
