I just had my hysterectomy 4 days ago and it help me to manage my pain .. I still have a long recovery ahead of me but I'll be okay with you by my side thank you😍

[@poncedominguezfamily8585]

Thanks a lot for this information! It is vital! I didn't know this. Unfortunately nobody told me this. I started to research about it because, after 2 days of my vaginal hysterectomy , I noticed that my legs were totally flaccid and very uncomfortable with a extreme pain. Today is my 8 day after surgery and is the day that I'm knowing this information. Really I'm worried about me, and the second efects after surgery... Anyway! I started doing the exercises three days before to see your article and video. So now I'm very sure that is correct, necessary and urgent to do! Thanks to share your knowledge. I appreciate! Blessings ❤

[@talikamurray1388]

I had my hysterectomy last month on the 3rd and it was a difficult recovery because of the pain and pressure I was having for at least 3 in a half weeks in my adominal area. I'm feeling and doing so much better it almost feels like I didn't had a hysterectomy. The only thing that bothers me is constipation gas and bloating

[@dredgalann]

Talika Murray thank you for your post. I had my surgery, 12/31/19, and still have pain. I was beginning to think the lingering pain was in my head.

[@latasha194ify]

I had procedure a week and a half ago. It has been a very difficult recovery (nausea and migraines to name a few) Ended up at the ER and back to my PCP before my 2 weeks post op appt.

[@jillianlea9690]

I'm not sure about the bridge right after surgery ?

[@michellephysio]

HI Jillian , great question thank you! Bridge is the best way to move in bed immediately after hysterectomy. It avoids using the abdominal muscles thereby avoiding strain and simply uses the buttocks to move which place no pressure on the pelvic floor. You will find it pain free and much easier than trying to move by sitting forwards/raising your chest and shoulders

[@jillianlea9690]

@@michellephysio ok I do this love often and waa just concerned about th abdominal , but if I stick to exactly how you show it , I should be fine. Very nervous , grateful for this video and your response.

I understand Jillian, it's good to be cautious after surgery, all the best for your recovery

[@YT4Me57]

I wish I had come across these exercises before my hysterectomy! They really do address the 3 main concerns after abdominal surgery: breathing, circulation and movement.

[@ciarahurley2420]

Hi Michelle your videos are so helpful and an amazing resource. Thanks for being so generous. I’m in the 4th week after a TAH and oopherectomy. I tried compression underwear today after seeing comments online. But I’m now in a lot of pain. Can you advise whether they are a good idea or not? Many thanks, Ciara

[@michellephysio]

@Ciara Hurley some compression garments are too firm. I often suggest to women to wear large support briefs that cover the abdomen, usually to the waist with a very thin waist band, never thick and sometimes a size larger than what you regularly wear because there will still be internal swelling for some time to come. The other option is leisure wear tights that can also provide gentle (not too firm) abdominal support while your up, moving around and walking. I hope this information helps and all the best for your recovery Ciara 🙏

from when i start these exercises?

[@michellephysio]

lali chatterjee Hi Lalie in Australia we usually commence these exercises in hospital - the deep breathing and circulation exercises are important after the anaesthetic and vital for those women with an abdominal hysterectomy wound

[@theRoseofmyheart]

excellent instruction thank you

[@manimadhr9]

Thanks ❤️

[@smrutimannengot212]

It really works

[@naturevibes369]

After how many days we can do this

[@michellephysio]

These exercises are usually done during the first couple of weeks of recovery

[@bonnieclark2249]

Good to see you Michelle! I am hitting 7 mo. post hysterectomy. I need to strengthen back and front achy inside, especially upon waking in the morning. Yes movement is very helpful.

[@JM-rp3lx]

side lying abduction and straight leg raise are they appropriate a week after surgery?

[@mra5247]

How soon post op can I start doing these exercises?

[@michellephysio]

Hi Margarita most women start breathing and circulation exercises as soon as they wake from surgery unless given medical advice to the contrary
