Pain relief AFTER.. What did you have?

[Life is Good]

North West Private, Danielle. My friend had her CS at Mater Private and she was given one (she lent it to me as a spare so I had 2).

I was on 2 x endone every 4 hours and voltaren for I think my entire stay (discharged on day 6), we tried to cut it down to one and that was a nightmare I could hardly move! I was also on voltaren. The midwives kept saying that I shouldn't need all that but I could feel it wearing off and it was so painful to move once it started to wear off. When I left I had a script for a couple of days on digesics and voltaran for about a week...After about day 8 or 9 I didn't really need anything.
I think maybe cause I had an emergency c-section, maybe they have to be a bit 'rougher?'...if you need it then take it and it will help you heal quicker!
Congrats on your little one x

I am starting to feel like a freak I have had 2 CS and I was on panadol only on day 2 and nothing on day 3, I was moving around alot (both babies were in NICU so I was walking back and forth) and I think this is why I felt so good, I walked alot and was even up once per night to walk to NICU to drop off my EBM and see babe, I do not suggest at all to overdo it, but I really do feel the more you move the better you feel rather than sitting in the same position then trying to get up (I hope this makes sense).

I am sorry to hear that you are in pain please tell them it is not working for you, they should offer you something stronger.

I was walking heaps around the NICU.
I think maybe walking around helps!

First of all. Thank you all for your quick replies. I am now home and got panadeine forte. I agree with you with how much you do. I was in dire pain last night but I was walking a bit more then I am used to. Tbh I felt like asking for more pain relief made me feel like an addict or something... They were good once I complained but just the fact that I had too ask three times for pain relief made me angry as I know that if you keep on top of it from the start, it is easier after a few days to have nothing.

As for this elastic thing. Now I am ****ed. I did not even see the physio lady... Oh she dropped by on friday with a leaflet and then left. WTF? I went private too. So should I get one? and were would I get one from? Is this similar to the belly bands that they sell at baby galore?

I have about 20 forte left and voltarin. I was not given any repeats so wondering what the hell I will do if I still need them.

I read that a small amount of you needed panadol. Thanks so much for your reply too. It makes me realise that no I was not some freak of nature as they made me feel.

Hey LIG!

Sorry, just seen this now. Totally appreciate the offer but got a belly bandit on Monday. So sweet of you to offer! Thanks anyways. Btw oddly enough, now that I am wearing the belly bandit the pain has subsided big time. Lets hope I am drug free very soon! xx
