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?

Hi Elizabeth
I'm surprised your doctor said that you could return to work after 2 weeks. As others have said, it takes time to heal. Often we underestimate the importance of rest in the busy-ness of life. Now is the time to take it easy and spoil yourself. I had the same op, followed doctor's advice - no bending, stretching, housework or laundry for a minimum of 6 weeks. It certainly worked as I had no problems.
Good luck. Lyn

Thank You yeah I was wondering the same thing about going back to work but I did what he said I could and with that I did all the things at home as well which I probably should not have done but he didn't say I could not but I learned the hard way and now I am 4 weeks out and having pain and kinda feeling the way I did the week I had the surgery so I been taking this week and not doing anything (which I am enjoying lol) and I seem to be doing a little bet
