I have been through some difficult, painful surgeries, but 8 days out and I'm regretting the surgery. I have weened myself off Dilaudid, but it rarely brought much comfort. I can't believe they only say it is a 2 week process when there is so much pain involved. I haven't been outside my home in days and live alone. Will get through but grateful for the candor here.
I know the pain man, i am 3 months post op now and i still get some soreness occassionally but this is your second week by the end of the week you will feel better and your BMs wont be so painful, i recommend taking it easy for another week and the pain will ease each day.
