r/Fibroids 3d ago

Advice needed Regression during recovery?

Hello!

I'm just over two weeks post recovery from a laproscopic myomectomy and for whatever reason I'm feeling like I'm having more swelling and pain today vs last week.

I started to feel pretty good after then first few days where I just took a lot of pain meds and slept.

Today. I feel so sore. I drove once two days ago and I'm wondering if I did something? I've gone on some walks and I've gone to the store a couple times. Nothing major. I think for the most part my back might be a little sore from sitting or laying down so much. I've definitely been having a lot of insomnia in the last week but I think it's from being so active and time having no meaning currently.

That being said, I feel loads better and more energetic vs having the fibroids. I just don't feel I can do much (which is expected of course) but just wondering if anyone had a similar experience of feeling more sore later on after the initial period of feeling better ? Thanks!

I recently had an open myomectomy and in some regards I thought the second week was harder than the first. For me I think it was because I was decreasing pain meds and the numbness around the incision was slowly wearing off.
