      Emcharmed RELAX.... take a load off those Pretty get off yours.!!!! I'm sure you are use to being wondermom. But it is crucial to your healing to get lots of rest. So you can heal properly. I realize your wanting to help your baby girl, but trust me even when you feel like yours% your body still need to heal another 20%. Over doing it can cause serious injury, even rupture your existing incisions. Trust me I know. I had every emergency surgery 14 weeks after my initial. It wasn't good and hurt like crazy. Very best of luck my friend💋

    Hi emcharmed,

    Did you have a posterior repair? If so I think it's normal to have pain in left side as the posterior repair lies to the left.

    It probably is your body telling you you have been overdoing things.

    I experienced that too and felt that it was either overdoing thinks or muscles being used that I had not used for a number of weeks.

    Having said that did very little over 1st 6 weeks, just building up a couple of short walks and some light eye level dusting, still mainly horizontal resting.

    Look after yourself and don't overdo things.

    Phyl x☺

      Not everyone suffers in pain when they urinate, if it is a UTI. Symptoms are different for everyone. Some have odor, discharge, burning, pain when they urinate. As for me I have had 2 UTIs my only symptom was.....a sharp pain in my lower right quadrant. To the point where I couldn't walk. Crazy huh? Hope doc calls you soon love👍 Best wishes

      No not necessarily. I had ecoli bladder infection for a month from end of week one to five and didn't have any of the usual UTI symptoms. Which is why I didn't do anything about the constant urine leak I had, for a month, until I realised it had very slowly gotten worse so finally rang Specialists Nurse.

    It could be a UTI, I would get checked immediately. However left side and back pains could be kidney stones. But again I'm no doctor.
