Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 What kind of pains are/ have people been experiencing post myo? I'm getting occasional sharp pains in the centre of my abdomen, pains in the groin area as if I've pulled a muscle and sharp pains down below which I think are due to the fact that the doctor thought I had contracted cystitus- probably from the catheter. What do you recommend for pain relief? I'm just taking parecetomol at the moment. How long do the pains last?- I'm currently Day 11 post-myo. My pains usually come on bad at night- any recommendations so as to get a good nights sleep- I don't want to resort to sleeping pills.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Sue, I think the pain should lessen and go away soon, but you may want to call your doctor to see if you need to do any thing special. After one week of surgery, I had the pains as if I've pulled the muscle too, but it was very short (avg 30 min during the day) and only for about three days, and it stopped. Make sure you walk slowly, no heavy lifting, and rest a lot. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi, You might try 1 Tylenol PM and 1 regular Tylenol at night for sleep. You don't wake up groggy this way. One Tylenol can often relax you when you're in pain. Ku suepollini suepollini@...> wrote: What kind of pains are/ have people been experiencing post myo?
