I had a TAH BSO 1 week ago today.  I was discharged the 4 th day and I felt sore but was okay.  I have developed wind pain and pain when i need to open my bowels which are really painful.  I was given Diclofenac and paracetamol.  Diclofenac eases the pain around my wound site which is very bruised.  Nothing eases the wind pain.  I feel better if i do jobs around the house rather than sit and rest.  I was told not to lift anything heavier than a kettle.  I can walk upright and fine and tend to pace myself steady.  I have 2 dogs and want to be able to take them out for a run but i cant do that as not allowed to drive and the younger dog would pull my tummy too much on the lead.  I want my active lifstyle back.  How much longer do I have to put up with these pains. They do not warn you at the hospital or tell you when you will feel better!  I also have started with a fuzzy head but I dont know if this is related at all.  Has anyone else gone through this if so how long did it last.
