Had a vaginal hysterectomy, anterior and posterior repair nine weeks ago. All seems ok but still having twinges and abdomen is constantly bloated and uncomfortable. Have just returned to work at a post office, my job entails getting on a chair using the counter to lift myself, stretching to reach parcels and lifting. Did two hours where I was tearing items that were perforated and elite e it or not this actually pulled on my abdomen and pelvic area leaving me feeling sore, how restrictive should be?
