Looking at my swollen thigh and hip would lead me to believe tissue damage, swelling, and subsequent pressure are part or even all of it. I would say the pain is different than it was pre surgery.
So far the pain has been going down every day and it's only been 4 days. Today might be the transition to mostly cane, I can make forward progress without the cane or walker but my body tells me it's not a good idea and I would have no protection from a slip or trip. I hesitate to call it walking, lol.
Once I'm back to semi regular the laxatives will go. I've only used laxatives for a bowel prep, until now I've never needed one but I sure do need them now!
Lol, yes many trips to the bathroom.
@ceezee That's good info. I'm hoping that the bowels will come back either once the narcs are stopped or even during the taper.
