Had a LLETZ procedure yesterday and read up about it before hand , but today i am having to take the day off work! I have horrendous tummy and back ache and it hurts to even walk!!
Has anyone else reacted like this to this procedure or am i a one off! lol
I think you may have expected a bit too much of yourself. The first few days I had a lof of quite strong period pains and chomped painkillers regularly. I had naproxen which was amazing.
I have also felt really washed out and lethargic for about 2 weeks and only just started to feel a bit better.
Try and rest as much as you can and let your body repair itself. If you feel any severe pains , fever or have any concerns do check with your GP/ clinic in case you have an infection.
I had lletz yesterday too and was expecting to come bouncing out the hospital feeling fine. I was in bed all afternoon just feeling washed out and light headed. I had period pains in my tummy and back. I have taken today off too as I am just not up to going back I feel achy and a bit sore where I was injected I still feel a bit out of sorts in general.
I think know we are all different and should not pressure ourselves to go back to work until it feels right.
I took 2 days off work also, just didn't feel right after it. And as jellybean said, the actual procedure is very quick, you just need to make time to rest for a day or two afterwards!
I made myself ill worrying about going for this and i promise you it really is no big deal. I was having sleepless nights over the though of the injection and i promise you all i felt was a scratch if that and it was done. The thought is so much worse than the procedure. You will be fine just expect to feel a little tired after.. i think mine has alot to do with the come down after how hyped up i have been. Be strong you will be fine.. promise!
Try and keep as calm as you can... i know this is hard, i thought i had locked myself in the toilet before i went in as my head was all over the place. You will walk out afterwards thinking i have just gone through so much building up to this an it was nothing! just to reassure i didn't smell anything burning or anything like that either. It was over so quick xx
Lol thanks guys, I'm usually a pretty hardy kind of gal....I gave birth to my 4 all naturally and I think if I can do that then surely I can do this lol....I think my minds getting carried away with me! I have 4 under 4's and other than my husband no family to help...he works so am gonna have to still do usual routine! Any advice?? :) xxx
Glad it went well and you are ok. Take it easy for a few days (if you can with 4 tiny tots!) be careful about lifting the bigger ones up for a few days
