That's great! I'm so pleased you're on the mend. Just make sure you're still getting enough rest and giving your body time to recover :).

thnx so much dubaicat for asking. aches are less then yesterday. i did went to doctor.she has done some tests and would get the reports by tom. however she is sure that its not infection. although my haemoglobin has come down so has been given iron tablets for that. as for this terrible body ache i have a reaction to anaesthesia and it takes time to fade away completely. i am so relieved. she says it will go away as combined with weakness i am feeling this so i have been asked to take rest.

well your first exp was same as mine. i was also given tablets as this was my first pregnancy but had to stay in hospital for 1 hr then go home so no charge for that. only 3 day after ops they kept me there for 12 hrs after which my DH insisted on going home as i was feeling completely fine. i can't seem to recall but i think last year too after appendectomy i had terrible bodyache. i do have a reaction to anaesthesia. but my mind has gone fuzzy right now :(

Im sure its really normal, i had exactly the same, but good that you've got an appointment for trmw!! I live in Abu Dhabi and had both of mine here. First one in Corniche which we had to pay as i wasnt covered,that was such a terrible experience as i thought it was only a D and C, day job, in and out but i couldnt have been more wrong!! I stayed 3 days/2 nights, thought i was going to bleed to death as they gave me tablets(from down) to try and induce a miscarriage,nothing happened except a huge blood loss and ended up having a ERPC anyway!! All for the grand total of 5500dirhams!!!! The 2nd i was dreading because of what i had been through previously but we saw a lovely Lebanese Dr at Franco Emrien hospital, was in at 9am and home but 11am, as i said before no pain no bleeding no nothing!!!! Did you also have the tablets, some Dr's give them to soften the cervix. I had them the second time but a smaller dose, they do it so they dont tear anything for future pregnancies I hope your experience wasnt as dramatic as mine, you dont need bodily pain, its already mentally painful enough!!! Goodluck tmrw, you'll be fine Im only down the road and can be in Dubai in an hour if you need anything xx xx

so sry to hear that you have to go twice jojobaaklini :( the pain from my face has subsided but it still hurts when you press your fingers. i feel like somebody has beaten me up. i am on antibiotics course.some pains and cramps would be there but i am confused why bones are paining and it gets worse in nights as i become restless and couldn't sleep. doc has asked me to come tom' where do you went for your ops? i have to rush last minute at Al Rafa as its just across the road (was previously booked for city at the same date but insurance refused at city,they were charging 6000!) <em>edited by manubhadauria on 26/04/2011</em>

Ive had 2 ERPC ops in the last 5 months, the first one was exactly as you have described except the face thing? However the 2nd one COMPLETELY different and different Dr, no bleeding at all and no pain 2 hours after the op. Did they give you a course of antibiotics to take, as some hospitals only ask you to take it as a precaution? Hope your feeling better soon, i do know exactly how you feel...........not nice :(

Definitely off to A & E with you! I had pain but not as extensive as you're describing. Could well be an infection, so best to get checked out asap.

DH had surgery last year and had the same symptoms you're describing. I took him to A&E and he had a massive infection somewhere in his system. I think to be on the safe side you need to go and get checked out - do you need someone to drive you?

I had a D&C last year, bled a little for a few days and did not experience any pain at all like you described, I think it is best you get intouch with your Dr to clear all your worries. Good luck
