5'4 125lb eat clean and exercised regularly pre-surgery. Recovery going well. Went 2 work after 2 weeks, desk job. Nearly standing straight-until noon, then hunched. Can't work more than 4-6hrs w/o back pain/swelling. I also started light housework- vacuum, dishes, garbage, etc. Started sleeping on side. Can't sleep through night still & have pain now in upper back-spine/right shoulder blade & chest muscle same side. Taking 800mg Advil & Valium at night. Only takes edge off pain-Is this normal?
I am 22 days post op from my tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast augmentation. The day after my tummy tuck my belly button was an innie, a few days after this ball thing appeared. My doctor says it's normal swelling but I can't imagine it going back in. My next appointment is a couple weeks away and it doesn't hurt and isn't bothering me. Is this normal looking?
I had Brest Aug , lipo of flanks and abdomnioplasty 3 weeks ago. My period came day before surgery. And stopped at its regular time. 1 week later it came back and has been here ever since. It's been 2 weeks now. This is crazy. My doc says its normal as the body is stressed. When can I expect it to stop ? Or is there anything I can do ? Please help
I'm experiencing eye strain and blurred vision. I had the nausea patch and that definitely blurred my vision, but since that has been gone since day 3, I think that should be gone from my system. I've been takin 800mg of Ibuprofen 3x/ day. I was telling my husband that my vision seems off and I'm struggling to read both close and far away. He wondered if it was the ibuprofen. Is that reasonable and if so, when would I see (ha!) improvement? I'm stopping ibuprofen
I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op. I've been walking 1 mile the last 5 days (cleared by my dr) and I've been doing dishes, cooking, sweeping and laundry. I feel fine. I haven't needed the pain meds since day 5. Can I go ahead and vacuum now too? And clean my bathtub? I can't stand how gross it is!
I had a complete mommy makeover 3.5 weeks ago and am healing properly with the exception of a seroma that already had to be drained once and I'm afraid is back. Wearing the binders makes me completely claustrophobic and feel as if I am bruised. By the end of the day I am completely drained however I have racing heart/anxious feelings and can't sleep. Suggestions?
I had a Tummy tuck with hernia and muscle repair with a Breast Augmentation (over the muscle) 3 weeks ago. I am wondering how long until I can sleep more flat as sleeping propped up is really hurting my back. I am swelling also and have been told to rest more. So my back is struggling due to being in the same position.
