I was healing well and my pain and swelling were getting much better and I didn't even need any pain medicine all day yesterday. Then I started my period and had to remove the gauze under my compression garments to take a light shower with it on. I also ate a small amount of a salty soup last night. Last night I could not sleep, I was am swollen and in pain. My garment was feeling good yesterday but now feels like it is giving me rub burns in a few places.
