 Re: Day four...pain meds question.....
That incision is what caused most of my discomfort as well. I slept in my recliner for a month because getting up and down off the couch or out of the bed was not possible. I had a lot of scar tissue/adhesions around the port incision (which is the one they used again as the largest incision. I had extra sutures, and requested that the surgeon remove all of the scar tissue because it was so bumpy and gross. I still 6 months out have a bit of discomfort in that general area if I push on it, or bump into something.
Take it super easy, they stitched up layers and layers of skin and muscle.
I also took children's advil with my surgeon's permission to help with swelling.
I hope you feel better soon.
