Help! I am unclear what is wrong. I am day 6 post op, have not taken any narcotic since my surgery, only Tylenol. I can stand up for about a minute before I start to feel faint and light headed. My head feels cloudy and heavy and my eyes are always a little black around the edges. No fever but Im a little warm to the touch. My surgeon over the phone said that everyone recovers differently but this doesnt sound normal to me. This only started 2 days ago so 3/4 days post op.
I am 1 week post op and at night time I wake up about 5 times to pee. It's exhausting. I was only on pain killers for one day (day of surgery) then I went to Tylenol the next day. I haven't taken anything else since except for the Keflex antibiotic (which I finished 4 days ago). Is this normal or should I see a doctor? Thank you.
How long can I expect the incisions (under breast) to be sore? My dominate is pretty sore but no swelling, redness, or heat coming from it. I was given Gabapentin but DO NOT want to take that anymore. I know I can take Tylenol but anything else I can do to help maybe alleviate that? 1 week post op. Also don't want to take the 4000 mg per day of Tylenol she said I can take. My stomach wasn't handling that very well! Thanks!
I am on day 3 post off and my swelling in my abdominal area is quite uncomfortable. I look around 6 months pregnant and typically I have a lean, flat stomach. I weight around 112 lbs and I am 5'8. I am not taking any of the pain meds and never have, just Tylenol extra strength, Valium twice a day, and the antibiotic. How long will this bloat last? I don't like it!
I am postop day 4 after having subpectoral breast implants. I went from 34A to 350cc high profile silicone. I am still in a large amount of pain. I stopped taking narcotic pain meds on day 2. Now I am currently taking Tylenol and a muscle relaxer. I did not have much body fat in my breasts, mainly muscle, from extensive exercise/weightlifting so thought maybe this is why I am having a large amount of pain. I was wondering when the pain usually starts to get better?
I had a BA 2 weeks ago. After one week Dr gave me Tylenol 3 for pain. I broke out in a bad rash so I can't take it. I have 2 toddlers and have to be very active, and I end each day in a lot of pain, so i cant sleep! I take muscle relaxers, I've tried taking the max dose of Ibuprofen, and Tylenol, but i still have considerable pain. Husband is a Paramedic and said to ask for a script of 5mg Norco, so my Dr won't think I'm a junky! I'm embarrassed to ask, but I hurt and I've tried everything.
I am 5 days post op and feel like I have zero energy to do anything. I get up to start to do something and 5 min later I just want to lay back down and sleep. I feel like it's making me depressed and I'm afraid something might be wrong? Is this normal? I still feel very tight and sore but haven't been on pain meds since day 2. Only extra strength Tylenol as needed. I'm on my last day of antibiotics as well. I also started my period last night which may not be helping either. Hoping this is normal.
