Recovery Pain - Body aches

Post by Stephanie2020 »

Hello Everyone,

It's been two and a half weeks since my ectopic pregnancy surgery which was preformed by laparoscopy. My incision pains have been minimal besides the occasional overuse type pain but my body has experienced aches for 4-5ish days now. I don't believe I'm coming down with anything so it doesn't explain the discomfort I'm in. I am aware that body aches are common days after surgery due to the gases and or surgeons moving by body around but should I be experiencing that now almost 3 weeks post-op?

Thanks for your help.

Dear Stephanie2020,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Sadly I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your symptoms. Pain is also very subjective, so I would advise speaking to your GP or medical team to discuss your symptoms. At the very least, this may give you some peace of mind.

Sending much love,
Karen x
