Hi Jo -
Thanks for the reply - I'm doing much better. I was able to get relief
after several hours using Advil, which to me indicates I had a lot of
swelling going on. I had tried to do my normal exercises, stretching
and treadmill, that morning so I may have aggravated things. I guess I
still need to slow down some (it's been almost a month since surgery).
I'm being more careful and am waiting to see how this cycle is going to
finish out - I'm on the 7th day of my period right now, which really
sucks....I hope this isn't a new pattern. :O) I'll be seeing my surgeon
in another few weeks for my 8 week follow-up, so I'll mention it then
unless it starts to happen more frequently.
Anyway, thanks for replying...

One of the most important things you can do for yourself, is keep your Doctor informed....if the pain is troubling you as it obviously is....then I think it is worth ringing him & telling him what is happening. Unless we keep our doctors informed........they can't give us their best care
