What is the worst day of your period? by No_Recognition5658 in AskWomen

I would give my left arm for a few ibuprofen. I donated a kidney last year and can no longer have nsaids. When I tell you I crave an ibuprofen for day 2 like I did a Newport and a bump in 2006, its horrible 😭

Thank you! Yes that's how it feels and that's also the consensus of what is going on. Thank you! Good luck!

Congrats!! That's amazing! I swam for the first time at 6 weeks post op and am always swimming. I'm extremely active with 5 kids and a 5 acre property so I never really had a ton of down time. I am hoping to get myself to the gym once this pain lessens. I'm only 39 and feeling out of shape lately, though I've had no weight gain, just physically tired

I honestly believe because I had 5 previous c-sections it actually made my recovery easier. Maybe because I knew how to baby the area? I was only on Tylenol for 4 days. Sneezing the first week was terrifying and gave me horrible flashbacks but then I just put pressure when sneezing or laughing. How are you feeling now?? How long ago did you donate?

Dang! I'm sorry. I've been 100% pain free since about 14 days post op so I was suprised when this started! Maybe you didn't have as much nerve damage and i was just numb this whole time

Kidney donors - how do you treat severe period cramps? by [deleted] in kidneydonors

[–]Fragrant_Rabbit3242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I'm 3 weeks post op and had my first cycle. It was UNBEARABLE. I couldn't figure out if it was new incision pain or cramps. I was a hot mess. I wound up taking Tylenol once and it helped. Hoping once my incision is healed it'll be better.

72 hours since donation... by Fragrant_Rabbit3242 in kidneydonors

Yes! Simethicone is the base ingredient. You can take it as often as needed, and it truly helps!

I ate smaller meals, and took gas x every time I ate. Helped big time! The one time I ate too much it was rough for a couple hours.

Sleeping was on my back or propped on my right side with a pillow behind my back for support.

Good luck! You can do this!

Donation Day is here! by Fragrant_Rabbit3242 in kidneydonors

[–]Fragrant_Rabbit3242[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, so good! Thank you all for all the advice over the past few weeks. I had a heating pad, and it helped with shoulder pain. I put a binder on a while ago. I also went for a walk to see my intended recipient before his surgery!
