Oh no, don't let it scare you, I didn't want that Yes, I was sore on post op day but overall it was an amazing experience compared to previously. I would just plan to be very firm with what you want in terms of post operative analgesia. Make sure you get a pre op consult with the anaesthetist and explain your concerns and what you would like this time. From my DIG I have found a lot of obs/hospitals prescribe IM peth/ sc morph for the post op days. A few even had their spinal still insitu for a day and had pain relief via that which I would imagine would be very effective! Another thing I think helped - from Day 1 I was allowed PR Voltaren (I wasn't allowed on day of surg due to my previous large PPHs) and I swear that made a huge difference. Within an hour of the voltaren I moved so much more easily, and I kept that up for the next 48 hours. Might be worth keeping in mind

It's ok, please don't worry and thanks for the tip. Next time will be very different I'm sure.
