My surgeon said 'no vigorous exercise, just walking' when I was released from hospital the second time. That was 2 weeks ago and I started to stall last week so Monday I got up and decided I'd start doing 1 mile - 1 measly mile - on the treadmill. I even broke it up into thirds, did the first .6km in the morning, went back after lunch and did the second .5km and was so tired I ended up going to bed before doing the last one. That's 1.1km, total.
The internal soreness on my left side, which had gone away last week and I was feeling/moving much better, came back with a vengence. I've had to have paracetomol the last 2 nights after weaning off all pain meds the week before. What did I do wrong? I was seriously just walking, went at 4mph the whole time, holding on to the rails throughout. I just don't get it. And how long will the internal surgery pains be there? Maybe it's naive but I never really thought of that and just assumed the pain would be at my incision. The incision is healed and doesn't hurt at all but inside, I've got soreness and at time sharp pain, when I lay on my left side too long or move the wrong way.
I want to be jumping into yoga and zumba and the couch to 5K program after my post-op at 8 weeks and this has me feeling discouraged.
