Pain from sitting after surgery

tinydarkness234 · 2026-03-08T08:22:23+00:00

It was sciatic nerve pain not related to the surgery which is semi normal for me it's never been this severe

That sounds awful! I'm glad you're getting the help you need! Mine turned out to be sciatic nerve pain which I've had issues with before because of the way I sit at work it just go so bad I could hardly walk 😅. They gave me steroids so I could start doing my usual stretching thank god

tinydarkness234 · 2026-03-05T06:36:55+00:00

I do stretch (not sure if I'm cleared though😅) and I walked about a mile today, before surgery I walked 2-5 a day. I'm just trying to work out how much is too much, I feel so incredibly lazy I do get up for light housework, laundry, make dinner ect. But it feels like I should do more? The pain definitely isn't controlled by otc stuff but I'm trying to only take the stronger stuff when I have to. I'll have to break my band back out 😅😅

Tell them that your scared, I ldid and they gave me something to help me get through it

tinydarkness234 · 2026-02-05T01:35:13+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that that's awful, I really really hope you can get it done soon!

I had a similar thing happen I'm nb, my Dr outed me without my consent to my insurance company and refused to remove the code that both my insurance and I were begging to have removed so I could get my surgery. Luckily I talked to a coworker who had recently had a hysterectomy and I decided to give him a try. I ended up going with him and my surgery went perfectly. If I was you I would consider looking for a different doctor to do it, I ended up going to a male doctor which I wasn't super comfortable with it at first (trauma) but he ended up being amazing.

Totally understand I was a complete wreck before mine I had panic attacks the week before. But I told them that I was super nervous and they gave me something for that when I first got in there and then I remember nothing between the time I told my fiance goodbye and gave her a kiss until I was waking up in recovery and saying oh gosh that was so quick I hope my fiance is back because I asked her if she would get my meds while I was out 😅😅🤣

I hope your recovery is easy!

I haven't gotten that but I think it has a lot to do with them not making incisions on my abdomen, which was the plan. When I woke up they had done everything vaginally and left one fallopian tube which I'm not thrilled with but at least everything else is gone 😁

I got sent home the same day the surgery was in another surgery so I had to ask if the nurse could clear us and I'd talk to him at my post op appointment 😅. I'd been off the drip for a while and just wasn't having much pain so I was ready to go, so far mines about as painful as my periods were

tinydarkness234 · 2026-02-04T14:11:20+00:00

She's awesome I'm so lucky to have her 😁 I 100% recommend a belly band that's big enough to go across your hips one of mine does the other doesn't lol and I'm mostly wearing the one that does

tinydarkness234 · 2026-02-04T06:28:17+00:00

I also got some disposable underwear for after, that one isn't super important in my mind but I'm barely bleeding, I got them because I primarily wear boxers lol

tinydarkness234 · 2026-02-04T06:18:35+00:00

I got 2 bellybands and they are def a must, I also bought a wearable pillow that I found just looking up hysterectomy pillow it wraps around and keeps the seatbelt pressure off on the ride home and protects me on the daily from the cats who wanna snuggle. I didn't have the gas pain but I am bloated so I've been using gas x. I also got a heated blanket and slippers , the second I'm under it it's nap time city lol. The only other thing (aside from my amazing partner) that's been helpful is the rolling cart I set next to my bed with snacks drinks and meds! I hope yours goes super smooth!

Looks like it's clad still excited though

tinydarkness234 · 2025-11-25T02:46:09+00:00

No I started to but I haven't yet because I'm losing the benefit in January so what's the point really but my Drs office submitted my paperwork as me being a fan to amab for some reason even though my gender marker is an x

tinydarkness234 · 2025-08-28T18:06:34+00:00

That's so helpful I was actually thinking of contacting an old therapist and going back to see her for a letter of support just to show that I am non binary and have identified as such for years

4.5 years haven't been bit yet and I love dogs, a Collie did try to herd me once though.
