Is It Normal To Have Pain In Where The Instruments Were Inserted For Surgery?
Hi, I just had a super cervical hystorectomy on 2/20/14. Everything went well. I was released on same day. My post op date is 3/4/14 this coming Tuesday. Most days I find myself wanting and doing lots of things. Like hand washing my pjs cooking washing dishes. I can now sit comfortably on the couch not a chair. However, 2 days ago I had to do laundry and went down 30 steps each way 2 to get it all washed and dryed. Next day I felt exhausted. So yesterday and today I am taking it easy. I ve noticed that the pain which at first was only disco fort for the 1 week felt like I had gas. Which I understand was induce for surgery. Then it became pain. I m not taking painkillers I m on Advil when unbearable. I noticed some discharge yesterday in the colors of transparent and yellow not transparent. What is that? Is it normal to feel pain in the ares of where the instruments were inserted for surgery? Also when can I actually leave the house? I m a bus driver and server approximately how long till I get back to work? Thank you in advance Pina

hi, pina. this type of discharge is usually not normal. pain definitively is not normal after a week or ten days after the surgery. you must follow with your surgeon regarding the same. also regarding leaving the house, your operating team is the best judge.
