Wow. Thank you for sharing. Lesson learned. I guess the weights were the problem right ? Cardio seems to be ok for everyone. Did your PS need to check you out ? Please keep us updated. There is a lot of people out there who are eager to go back to the gym but don't know if its the right time. You are an example to us in showing us to go easy.

Weights were the problem. I am finally feeling better. I have had a busy week and have done no exercise at all. I feel like I'm getting fat. :( but hopefully next week I'll get back to business!

Swelling is going down significantly now. Every am i am flat. In the evening i am swollen below my belly button and in my hips. My pubic mound is still large looking a lot of the time. Revision is most likely needed.

I am awake at 2am...I am in so much pain :( I posted a question to the doctors on RS but will be calling my PS tomorrow. I think I really hurt myself. Its been 8 days now of pain and it is increasing rather than subsiding. Ladies, don't over do it at the gym like me. Please just take it easy. I wish that I had stuck to my plan of just walking for a couple of months. Now I am paying for it and really worried.

Slowly getting better. No more weights for a while for me. I am just going to walk/elliptical for a month or two. I was really hurting bad! I went to the er on the 29th. They couldn't help. Ugh!
