    Hey Hun, I can completely relate to you! I had my operation on Monday just gone (15th). The Monday and Tuesday I was in so much pain, threw up six times on Monday, couldn’t do anything to make myself feel better.

    I was sent home with paracetamol, ibruprofen and codiene. I called the hospital and they said to take more of the codiene tablets which I was worried would make me more sick but I havent been sick since the Monday as I’ve ensured I’ve had meals and ate enough with my tablets.

    Day 3 was a big turning point I felt a million times better and every day since has been better. I would say make sure you’re eating well and taking all of your tablets, call the hospital to ask if they can change your prescription to a higher painkiller and if not if you can up your intake.

    Today I’m day 5 and I’m feeling great, I took my dog for a walk and can lift my arms and do everything for myself.

    Feel free to message me if you need any advise as I’ve gone through it and feel loads better now!

    Holly xx

    Because my surgery day was relatively good when I woke up on 1dpo I was shocked as I was in so much pain and felt helpless, I was also very weepy and had the worst backache ever, this lasted a good few days but five to seven dpo was a massive turning point. Now I’m 7wpo and all the pain and emotions seem like a distant memory, I hope you’re ok babe and can only say it does get better. Keep taking your pain killers at regular intervals and use a hot water bottle on your back x

    Hi Tiff, hope you start to feel better soon. Rest assured with each day that goes by your pain should go down. Just keep well hydrated and fed, and take it easy. I did find getting up and walking around the house helped ease the tightness in my chest, and it should also help with the back pain as you’re not stuck in one position getting stiff.
    Hope it all eases soon, in the meantime, make the use of your boyfriends help and support!
