At what point were you all wearing jeans again? I will be 3weeks PO this Friday 11/9/12 and I just feel like most stuff beyond yoga pants and sun dresses to be so uncomfortable on my abdomen-- even with my CG on. I'm not saying that they don't fit-- but for me even sitting for long periods of time seems to make me more hunched over than standing and walking and I feel like having a waist band would make it worse. The discomfort isn't at my incision site but more at my waist level. Am I being a total wimp?
I go back to work next week but at least I wear scrubs all day so they're not binding.
Yes! The back pain kills me more than the tummy. I can atleast rub the tummy and the stiffness subsides but the back hurts no matter what. I rec a lower back massage from the hubby while standing (sitting too upright made my tummy hurt early on too) or while leaning over a table or couch back.
Does anyone REALLY love their CG? I am having a love/hate relationship with mine right now and am waiting for my 1st post-op tomorrow so I can start buying more CGs that I already know I will hate to wear but love the look. :)
What OTC meds are you guys using besides Tylenol? I'm trying to get off my Lortab 10/500 and plain Tylenol doesn't seem to be cutting it. I seem to be having less pain and it seems like more muscle soreness? I have an appt tomorrow-- should I ask for a muscle relaxer rather than a pain pill?
