Hi all! I will post my lap story soon, just haven't had the energy. I'm 6days post lap. He excsied a little from all over and I had a presacral neurectomy. I was due for my period two days post lap and it came, even still, I was starting to feel better. No problems with my first bm,(it did hurt a little), and no urinary trouble. I started to feel weak and tired and tender last night. No fever, but still bleeding with a lot of clots,(sorry to be graphic😥), and I just feel it should have tapered off by now but it is still a moderate to heavy flow and it is bright red. Today I am very weak, staying in bed, and very tender in the rectal area, especially when I sit down. I have to sit very slowly! I spoke to his nurse who said I could come in, but I know I don't have an infection, but I hurt more today than the day after my lap. I already have cabin fever and was going to go to Costco with my hubby, but he thought I should stay in bed because he said he could see I wasn't well. I think that walk would have killed me. Anyone else have relapse pain after a lap like this?

I think you should go in and see him if you're that tender and weak

Woke up today a little better! The bleeding has slowed a lot and I was able to do a little around the house for the first time. I was quite soreafterward, but that just tells me not to rush it. Stillneed a good nap everyday which I can say has been quite lovely,lol. My family has been so supportive, won't let let do anything if they're around, love em!

you rest up as much as you need and take it easy as overdoing it wont help good to hear family and hubby are supportive and understanding and that its all improving and its good you know what your body tells you but if you are worried over anything or unsure contact the nurse or doctor and see them and tell them hun last thing you need is to get worse and not better xxx

Ok, an update as I have not been on here for quite awhile. I think I have been in denial about my surgery in Feb. i went for my post op and he said he removed minimal amounts of lesions and I should be ok. Well, my periods have been pure hell. I hurt down to my knees. My previous ob/gyn said he could feel the nodules all over my uterus when he did the pelvic exam and referred me to his colleague who maybe was a little more experienced. I think I have posted about this doc before. He was the one who diagnosed my endo, very bluntly and cold, with no explaining. I hate his guts. He is the coldest man I have ever met but now I think I have to go back to him.😩 My uterus just hurts like hell, so I think either he didn't look thoroughly or didn't recognize what he saw. I have been watching my diet as I clearly see what happens when I go off my supplements for a few days and eat junky food. Was in the states for three days and didn't have my protein shakes or my green superfood and I bloated up like a hot air balloon, and was in terrble pain! Came home, did my herbal teas and shakes and after two days, the pain and bloating went away. Diet is so important with this disease. When my period is oncoming, My uterus hurts so bad that if I lay down and just put my hand on my abdomen, it kills me. I know this because I wanted to see exactly where the pain is the worst and I was kind of gently pushing around on my tummy. Owwww! I also still get terrible flare ups in my rectum, so bad sometimes, it hurts to sit down. I have to lower myself very slowly. I am even now considering a hysterectomy next year. I know it's not a cure, and I know I have always been an advocate for keeping that area intact despite overzealous doctors, and I know it won't remove my rectum pain, but if it takes away that uterine pain, it would be worth it. It scares the hell out of me, the hyster I mean, and I worry about it having a negative impact on my sex life. Maybe that sound bad, but I have always enjoyed that time with my hubby, even after 12 years. Until then, rasberry and dandelion tea help so much, as do my shakes and green superfood. That has been my saving grace over the last two years. I also cut out milk, and make my shakes with almond milk. If I don't do these things, Flareup so badly that I can barely walk from the pain and I bloat so big, I honestly look pregnant! White willow bark is also a really good pain reliever. Sorry for the rant, just discouraged I guess...
