They put me on muscle relaxers, got better then they started again a week later. I was getting 20-30 a day, when I sat, laid down or drove a car. 2 weeks later (5 wks post op) I was put on muscle relaxers for 2weeks and are better. I am down to 1-2 a day. Wear a compression garment to drive. Oblique area feels like the muscle is twisting. Very uncomfortable. when will all this get better? I am 14 weeks post op.
I'm looking to get a tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo done. I have had 3 pregnancies all c-sections. I have lost 30lbs in preparation for the surgery because I can not tell if I have fat around my organs or just fat under my skin and I do not want to look 6 months pregnant after the tummy tuck. My question is Will I have a flat stomach after the tummy tuck, or will I look pregnant? I just want to have realistic expectations. Thank you for your time.
Had tummy tuck/ breast augmentation 9 days ago I still super swollen and sore hurts to walk. What can I do for the swelling? My doctor keeps saying I will pee the swelling out soon but still nothing. I'm walking as directed, have my feet propped when not. I'm taking Tylenol, hydrocodone, and muscle relaxer. I've putting the arnica cream on as well.
Hello! I had an extended TT, MR and lipo of flanks yesterday. During surgery, my temp spiked to 102; concerns for malignant hyperthermia. Gases stopped and meds given IV. No muscle relaxer. My temp was over 103 in recovery; sent to the ER - had a breathing treatment for wheezing and sent home. Anyone been sick during recovery so early and what have you done to manage? Coughing is not fun. Recommendations on how to manage a productive cough? Bracing, incentive spirometer, etc. Thanks!
