    Oy! Post Op Muscle Pain

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I had surgery yesterday for two (!) ovarian cysts. Everything went well, I'm home, but Oh. My. G_d. My muscles feel like I've done the most heinous full body workout ever! I'm walking like a 100 year old woman. I did some Googling - it's most likely due to the muscle relaxer the anesthesiologist used. It should go away in a day or so.

    Anyone else ever experience this?

    That sounds pretty normal if they gave you succinylcholine. But yes, ouch.

    Happy recovery thoughts to you!

    I have never heard of that or experienced it (thank the gods), but I wanted to wish you a swift recovery. Glad you're feeling a little better today!

    Glad you're feeling better! Have you had the shoulder pain from the air they pump into you yet? That was an unwelcome surprise.

    Good times! I think when we have things like this done, it should be followed by spa pampering for a week.
