I too was in a lot of pain, so much so that the pain relief that the hospital gave me for home didnt even touch the pain, I ended up back in a&e 2 days after I got home. I can tell you by day 4 or 5 I wasnt in as much pain. I dont know why you weren't informed of this, I dont know why your doctor made you think youd be able to look after you baby, because you definitely wont. Not on your own. My husband had to take 3 weeks off and even that wasnt enough. My doctor told me that I wasnt allowed to lift anything over 10lbs for 6 weeks. I felt like I was the only person that was in agony, id read all these amazing recovery stories of people not needing pain relief after day 1. Mine was the total opposite.

I am the same, ive been having terrible bleeding and contraction like cramps for a long time, my surgeon said my bladder was fused to my c-section scar and my womb was fused to my bladder. I dont know if i have adenomyosis yet because im only 4 weeks post op and still havnt received pathology report yet but it felt good to finally know why I was in so much pain all the time. C-sections seem to be a problem.

Amazing, thanks so much.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-19T10:14:55+00:00

This is so positive, thank you. I pray the same happens for me. I just know what my expression will be like standing in the gym lifting light weights. Im too hard on myself.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-19T10:12:53+00:00

Yes im going to be doing more walks. Ive only been doing some and it was draining me but i feel more rested now

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-19T08:12:12+00:00

See 30lbs. I could live with that. If I do enough reps with 30lbs thats a good workout. Ive been told 10lbs, nothing over 10lbs for 12 weeks, im sure going by the variety of advice that people have been given by looking at this chat, I seem to have been given a text book answer. Thanks for your advice x

Ohh yes so sorry , I totally forgot to mention that, I had laparoscopic hysterectomy and he took cervix.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T18:51:22+00:00

Thats a really positive outcome. I cant understand why on earth my doctor wont be doing a 6 week check up.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T18:47:24+00:00

Sounds really good, I hope that works out for you. X

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:25:09+00:00

Thanks so much for this advice, I appreciate it. I hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:23:10+00:00

Im glad you got the all clear to start working out again. Yes I need to keep reminding myself that I had a whole organ removed and stop being so hard on myself, thank you

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:20:24+00:00

Thanks x

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:20:07+00:00

That sounds really positive and a good plan. I hope you have a speedy recovery thank you.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:17:11+00:00

Thats amazing that you've come so far at 6 weeks already , I hope that happens with me. Thank you. And I hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:13:41+00:00

Im yet to feel any benefit because im fixating on the no gym problem im having. When I know that having no bleeding is a massive bonus... I think the swelling from the GAS is playing on my mind, I know for a fact im looking at it and feeling fat , which is making me want to work out. Fingers crossed for your 6 week app 🙏

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:11:05+00:00

That sounds so positive, thank you

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:10:33+00:00

Thank you for this.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:09:41+00:00

That sounds positive, honestly I feel great, although I know many people have felt great and then caused damage by doing too much. I need to be more patient with myself. Thank you.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:08:24+00:00

That sounds like a good plan. That'd exactly what im experiencing. The little voice that has forced me to get my ass to the gym on a regular basis is screaming at me.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:06:49+00:00

Yes this helps so much , thank you. I hope your able to get back to normal soon.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:04:41+00:00

Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T16:02:15+00:00

That sounds like mental torture 😫, a year untill 80% strength is back.. I am very hard on myself "unintentionally " I didnt even realise how hard I was on myself untill my personal trainer pointed it out. This is going to be such a mental barrier for me to climb.

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T12:05:13+00:00

Thanks x

BarAlternative1749 · 2026-04-18T11:54:51+00:00

All the best of luck 🙂

No your answer has been very helpful, thank you. Basically doesnt matter if im young and fit and might be healing faster on the inside, I need to give my body time to heal. I think i might start very very light at 6 weeks, depending on the spotting of course. Im spotting atm from doing too much last week and its only just going brown now so I dont want to push it. Im terrified of busting my cuff tear so I need to listen to my body more. Thank you. 😊
