Hello, yes it is quite normal to feel terrible the first few days. I guess everyone is different though but I was in quite considerable discomfort. It does get easier within the next few days though. Have a read back though some threads for peoples experiences. We had a discussion recently which you can probably find via my profile and my recent posts. At this stage if it hurts don't do it, and that includes walking unless it's bathroom visits or something very short.
All the best for a speedy recovery.

Hopefully the below thread will put your mind at ease. By the way, the bruising is normal. I was black and blue down there for a while. It does start to fade after a week.

Now some 8 weeks later each day improves. The first two weeks were the worst and all you describe sounds about right. The surgeons are a bit gun hoo in their attitude. Mine said you can’t be in pain, I do thousands of these.
Keep taking small steps and try to walk a little further each day DONT pick up anything heavy
