ablation and groin pain after 10 days

[Guest guest]

Headache better today. Have cut down aspirin to 75mg. Pain in my groin is much

worse. It has always ached since the ablation 10 days ago and there is a pea

sized lump, but today I keep getting a really sharp pain in it that takes my

breath away. Anyone else had this? I am not sitting dwelling on it as I have

been really busy today and have lots of other things to think about, although I

admit I am anxious. Someone mentioned ruptured aneurysm to me that hasn't

really helped! ]

Sorry to be so pathetic!

Thanks

I had a walnut size lump in my groin. It sounds like you are running around

getting ready for your guests and not taking it easy. I have been off of work

for 4 weeks and taking it easy to let my body heal. You need to listen to your

body. Mine felt like a bad muscle pull and once I got it thru my head-I settled

down and quit pushing myself so hard and it got better. If it isn't swollen and

red it is most likely okay. I had myself talked into an esophageal fistual for a

couple of days!!

Take care,

From reading your posts it seems to me that you have not made

allowances for having the procedure and recovering from it. You MUST

make time for yourself to heal. Whatever busy stuff you have to do,

it's not as important as your health is it? If you make yourself ill

by not giving yourself time to r&r you will not be able to do any of

it anyway! Spare some time for yourself! Relax, lay on the couch,

read, watch TV. Whatever you like doing. I could not believe you

were cooking for people a week after you have had an ablation! Men

can cook too.

My lump got pretty big too, although not walnut sized.... I'm one month out from

MY PVI tomorrow, and this past weekend, as I was up and down on ladders, my

catheter site was again aching. I followed the rules about no heavy lifting

for 10 days, and despite being 30 days, I'm still having my husband lift really

heavy items for me. If the site still aches, even occassionally, it must not be

fully healed, and no sense pushing things! I push them enough elsewhere.

Steph,

As I recall we both had ours on Feb 28th. I finally came back to work today

and am not lifting anything real heavy. Still taking it easy. It may have been

what they call non-invasive but it was still surgery and they were messing with

our hearts. Have you had any a-fib? I haven't so far and that seems like a good

sign even though I haven't pushed myself yet. It is nice to be able to just bend

over to put the leash on my dogs and not go into a-fib. Once the fear goes away

totally it will be like getting a new life.

Me Too!! As I've mentioned before, I had a burning deep in my chest since the

procedure, and I found that every time I ate I had to clear my throat a bunch

afterward... I was sure I was developing a fistula as well! Yesterday it dawned

on me that I no longer had the burning, but I still have to clear my throat a

bunch after eating.

Now I'm thinking that perhaps my throat was just super irritated from the

TEE.. that's the only thing I can think of at this late date. I think fistulas

develop within the first few days, to just a couple weeks after the procedure!

I think we're in the clear... phew!

Hi Peggy - Geeze..... if I had thought I could get away with a month I would

have... I over estimated my recovery as well, and went back a week later, which

was too soon! I was pooped by the end of every day, and it was until yesterday

that my chest still " ached " deep down, and as mentioned in my previous post, my

catheter site still aches a bit!

Prior to my ablation I was on Rhythmol every 8 hours, because my own cardio

didn't think the 12 hour slow release was as effective toward the end of the 12

hours. After the ablation I asked to be switched to the 12 hour version (mostly

so I could go to bed early if I wanted) so I took the first 12 hour pill the

night I got out of the hospital, and was in afib by 5am, which ended 2 hour

later, and half hour after my next dose of Rhythmol. I then went into aflutter

that very same day, about 4:30pm, and converted back to NSR about half hour

after my next 12 hour dose... I switched back to the 8 hour dose the very next

day, and had one less than 30 second run two days after that, and I MAY have had

a PVC or PAC once or twice since, but that's it (KOW). My heart is feeling

more solid than it has in a very long time.. not sure if thats they rhythmol to

blame or the ablation. I guess the test will be during the weaning off period

at the end of May.

How about you? Are you still on medication and are you having any events?

Stef,

I have not had any episodes since the ablation. I was on sotalol before

but it wasn't very effective. Mostly just kept my rate down. After the procedure

the doc put me on 25mg toporal xl once a day just to keep my heartrate down but

didin't want to put me on anything else to see if the procedure is sucessful or

if it is the drugs

I am on warfarin and toporal and that is it. Had a couple of days with alot of

ectopics but took some magnesium and it settled them down. So far so good.
