11 Days Post Op
WORTH IT
Today I'm 11 days Post-Op and feeling amazing. My PS says I still can't go for walks or anything until at least 14 days Post-Op. I have a question and I hope I'm not being to personal. How long did everyone wait to have sex. My PS said at least 2 weeks Post-Op, however my husband works out of state so by the time he gets home it will be alittle over 3 weeks. I'm wondering how long it was for everyone and maybe the experience as far as how it affected you. I think I'm a bit nervous.

Compression Socks
How long have you ladies worn the compression socks after surgery. I think they told me three days but my mom said at least a week, I'm scared to take them off.

I wore mine every night for a week because i believe when your not moving the risks are higher in your legs.

I left mine on for about a week just to be sure. Was told 24 hrs after surgery was safe, but left them on longer anyway (it's Winter here in Australia so they helped to keep my legs warm :P)

4 Days Post Op
Today I'm 4 days post op and I'm feeling pretty good. I don't have a lot of pain and I haven't had to take any pain meds. However, sleeping on my back is killing it, I am so use to sleeping on my side this is horrible. I can't get any sleep. I'm not sure if I can use a heating pad for my back but this morning I am. My next appointment with my PS is going this coming Monday so I will ask him then.

Hi, this is my moms account, but I had a BR about a week and a half ago and have some suggestions for you. I have found that alternating ice & heat has done wonders for my neck & back(and under-arm soreness.) I have also been struggling with sleep, but sleeping slanted upright with neck support and a pillow under my legs has given a decent amount of relief to that. Being able to put slightly more pillows on one side of your body(if you are a side sleeper normally) can sort of simulate tilting on one side while keeping your chest stationary. Good luck, let me know if you have any questions! X Morgan

Thank you for the suggestions I did try the pillows under my knees and that did help a lot. Again thank you.
