I think the Joint pain was the worst part. My shoulder pain was minimal but the achy joints were not helped by anything and made it so I couldn't sleep either.
Landzzzz... take care, heal for a day, and get a family member to start getting aggresive to get info. It is horrible that you had no information. Please keep us posted.

Hi I just had my lap done today and they told me about this joint pains and everything they say its natural some people get it other people don't they say its because of the carbon dioxide that they use to blow up your tummy whn doing the opp the carbon dioxide takes a while to get out of your system.... Hope it helps good luck though I'm feeling terrible really feels like a bus hit me I've never had so much pain my life nt getting better had bethadine and everything so I'm a bit worries that I had complications havnt seen my doc yet he's already gone home will only c him in a weeks time I'm actually so angry don't even knw what he did and the nurses doesn't knw either how wonderfull and its a private hospital really really rediculous anyway good luck to you guys for your recovery
Aches & pain is defense mechanism of your body telling you to stay put, take it easy & rest. Please try not to over exert yourself with walks & stretches. I'm 10 days post op laparotomy & I'm still sore. It gets a little better every day & with each day, you can walk that bit further, or stand & sit that much longer. All in all, just take it easy, good luck with your recovery!
hi poor you. i can totally sympathsise. im just outta an op too for lapaorscopy sterilisation and the untwisting of a fallopion tube 5 days ago. am the same achy stiff sore. its a bloody nuisance. but remember were just thru surgery and have to allow healing time. keep taking painkillers lots of rest and warm relaxing baths. times a gr8 healer. hope you feel better soon
