New member here. I had LAR surgery two days ago to remove a tumor that was located in my sigmoid colon. Technically it is rectal cancer, but my doctors are treating it as colon cancer due to it’s location.
My question is about pain. At this point, feel somewhat comfortable while in the hospital bed. But attempting to walk has been agonizing. They have me on Norco at this point, but that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick.
My doctors obviously want me walking as soon as possible. I want that as well. But is my pain situation unusual at this point, aseeing as how it’s Wednesday, and I had my surgery on Monday?
Long story short, the docs are trying to get the pain under control so that I can walk as needed. But I’m feeling very defeated.
