  Much better. Still some swelling and stiffness when moving after sitting too long.
  also the hardness and numbness I'm getting used to. The suit started causing some serious irritation from rubbing so I ended up in spanx and flexees while I wait for the new ones I ordered to come in. I'm at week3 and ended up in the spanx after day 15. I hope that's not too early. I'm back in the original suit a few hours a day while I wait for the new ones. So coming along. Back to work tomorrow.

  OMG! I woke up today feeling like a new person. I decided last night to loosen up the compression suit a bit by hooking it on the 2nd set of hooks to the point it was uncomfortable but leaving the rest hooked on the first so I could sleep comfortably. I think that and the massage from the day before, loosening up the hard spots with cream and the tens unit helped tremendously. I'm scheduled again for tomorrow. today I'm standing up straight and moving with little discomfort. I will not overdo it after reading some of the other posts. In fact, I swear, as I write this the compression suit just did a "vise" like move. LOL So I'm low key and doing better. let's see what happens.

  Thanks for clarification. should I start the arnica gel now? When do i use the firming lotion? Right now I'm still too sore to want to do more touching than I have to. I wear a shirt under the garment for comfort. Think that's a problem? I ordered another garment because I was told I couldn't put it in the dryer and I wasn't sure how long to keep it off. so far more than 20 min at a time. Do you think the undershirt could be making it feel too tight. If I didn't know better I'd think it was shrinking and this is not having been washed yet. Aftr your 1 mo 24/7 what was the schedule w/ the garment?

  These comments have been helpful since I'm experiencing so much of what you all are. The stiffness in the morning is a drag. Nobody is mentioning going to the bathroom frequently. When I have to go the urge is so great I almost wet myself before getting there. I understand from the Dr. that's drainage. I'm told I need to drink water to help with the drainage which of course makes it necessary to go to the bathroom and opening this compression suit which for the life of me I can't prevent peeing all over. You sure this hardness is going away and I'll get feeling again in those areas? And if that's not enough to worry about. I did this on vacation in a location away from home and will only be around for a 3 week post op. What was I thinking? I don't think I'm going to regret this later but right now this was one of the stupidest things I've done. Pics later.
