Hi. I'ma 42year old preschool teacher and single full time mother of 3. I had vaginal surgery on Jan 27th. I had severe bladder prolapse so had that repaired, hysterectomy but left my ovaries, and A&P repair. I spent 3 nights in the hospital; the first 48 hours being cathed each time I needed to urinate. I was told by my Dr that some people go back to work a week out of surgery. I am still in quite a bit of pain and starting to feel frustrated. is it normal to still need pain meds ( 1 to 2 Percocet a day) and be in pain this far out?
