Carolyn, one is really supposed to take a week off and do nothing labour
intensive at all, even sitting for long periods like you said at a desk can
be hard on the surgical sites. During a lap your abdominal cavity gets a
good digging around done in it, and excessive movement afterwards makes it
difficult for the appropriate healing to occur. I had a lap with
ovary/cyst/adhesion removal and took plain tylenol regularly alternating
with an anti-inflammatory (naprosyn) for two weeks post-op, and had no pain
at all, just a thought.
Hope it gets better for you, Karen McNolty
