I had a laproscopic hysterectomy on the 28th of November 4 weeks ago I had a 2 week check up  where my doctor told me that I could go back to work so I did and I have felt pretty good for the most part and I have also been cleaning and doing laundry and so on but this week I have been having pretty significant pain and very tired is this normal?

      thanks that is exactly what I figured I can be hard headed sometimes lol but my doctor told me I could return to work so I did I work after my 2 week appointment at a fast food restaurant so he told me if I needed to go part time  but I think that has hurt me more lol and also doing housework has probably hurt me also?

      Definitely! I would abused getting signed back off and no lifting for 6 weeks. As soon as you rest again the pain should ease x

      I thought going back to work at 2weeks was a little early but my doctor said ok so I guess this week I will be taking it easy and resting and just getting up occasionally I'm so ready for the time that everyone says I will

      Hi ladies yes it’ll help shift the gas from the op which is probably what some of the bloating is. Also still softeners to stop constipation which can be painful to pass. X

      I will definitely try that but another thing wonder what will help the burning I have in my belly or could it be the stitches healing?  it seems to be worse when I have gotten up and done some housework or something like that sorry I'm not trying to burden you but you have helped me a lot

      Don’t feel a burden! I’m happy to help anyway I can! My burned for a bit! I had keyhole laparospic. In fact one of my scars hurt for a few weeks and it can be scar tissues forming. I was told to massage them gently when the plasters were off. Always pop to your GP to get a check up or call gynae just to rule out anything else though. It’s a very strange time for us as it’s a scary and new experience ♥️. I took arnica for healing too x
