Question Pain

I did a search for it but Im just not finding the anwers.

How is the pain after surgery?? How long does the pain last?

Sorry to be redundant, I am sure this has been asked along the lines.

The pain all depends on your Tolerance. I have an extremely High tolerance for pain. It also depends on the type of Surgery you had. Rather or not you get up and move around. But Generally the pain can last anywere from a few days to a couple of weeks. I came home with pain Meds and I never even used them. So, really it depends on You.

I did NOT feel the catheter AT ALL...not even when they took it out. Gas...I did have that and I just kept walking and taking my Lortab. Felt pretty much back to normal at week 2.
