Reply To: Swelling and pain 4 days post op

Hi Lisa

Pain and swelling post op is expected and normal but it is really hard to access pain without an assessment to know if this is within the normal parameters. You know your body best, if you have real concerns please do call your provider or even 111 to run through the symptoms with them. The tiredness again is part of the journey especially in the early days/weeks, make sure you are trying your best to get in enough clear & nutritional fluids – even try some protein water and make sure you are taking in your daily vitamins.

The pain could be trapped wind too, try some peppermint tea, deflatine, gripe water or chewable windeze – might help

Let us know how you are getting on 😘 xx
