Does anyone have any remedies for postop groin pain? It’s really the only issue that I’m having. I find I have to keep changing positions, but I only have a limited number of those.
I’m trying to figure out that fine line between progressing and doing too much. I’m elevating and icing, taking my pain meds and walking some every hour. I think I might be on my feet too much in the morning doing all of the beginning of the day stuff (breakfast, shower, dressing, making the bed). I do a lot of standing then, although it doesn’t generally hurt while I’m standing. I’ve even gone back to 2 crutches today to give myself a rest.
I’m going to be on my own for most of next week, so I’ve been making sure that I’m pretty independent before then like helping to prepare my meals and getting my own ice. But maybe I over did it? Is groin pain a normal part of the healing process?
