Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am 2 weeks post myo today. I am still not allowed to pick up anything heavy, including my 25 lb daughter. I have been having a lot of pain in my lower right side. I called the dr yesterday and the nurse told me to stop doing too much. I have not really been doing anything except picking up small objects off of the floor and i always bend my knees. She said the squatting could be causing the pain. Anyone else have pain like this after surgery? The only thing that relieves it is lying down. I am not sure why the pain is in the lower right side, isn't the uterus in the middle.? It is not pain from the incision. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Amy, Check with the nurse again about the location of the pain. I was told the reason before but now forgot. I am not sure if your squatting down really is the cause. Do anything you can now to help ease the pain but of cause you need to get up here and there. If the pain is not improving, demand to see the doctor. Jackie Amy Brown amyhopeb@...> wrote: I am 2 weeks post myo today.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi, I had myo in November and still have a little pain when I sneeze, cough or what not on my right side. I followed my own rule after surgery of " if it hurts stop doing it " Jan g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
