10dpo: Asking for a friend
Hello, friend is 10dpo after a laparoscopic total hysterectomy with everything out. She was wondering if most of you have experienced feeling of “soreness” in lower abdomen and intermittent pain-like throbs coming from the belly button incision, and heighten awareness of internal pelvic area. Every time she moves positions in bed (guarding with pillow over abdomen), walking slowly, sitting for meals, or while using the bathroom, she feels like pain but more like a feeling of soreness or throbs that eventually leave. On regular Tylenol, regularly scheduled because if she misses dose, then pain lingers longer.
Have any of you experience this? It makes her feel vulnerable and sad at times because she doesn’t know if it’s a sign that she may have pulled something accidentally or unknowingly (ex., during sleep etc).
Please share your experiences. Thank you!
