I had a vaginal hysterectomy and bladder sling a little over 4 weeks ago. I hemorrhaged during the surgery and lost 5 units of blood. I received 2 units in the OR and 2 more over the course of 2 days. I was in the hospital for 5 days. Im feeling stronger everyday. Ive had some lower back pain and pain in my leg. Ive had this before and Im not worried about it. But without thinking I did what I usually do and laid down on my stomach and lifted up my legs to stretch out my back. Now Im worried I might have done something I shouldnt have done. I dont really have any pain but just started thinking what if I hurt myself. Thank you so much.
**1. You can do light activities and gentle stretching exercises (with your Doctors approval) as long as it doesn't cause fatigue or pain.2.  Perform your doctor-approved exercises every day, because if you hurt yourself it may cause opening of stitches, vaginal discharge, bowel and bladder dysfunction.3. Although exercise is easier after a vaginal laparoscopic approach, but you should not do any abdominal exercise for 2 more weeks, you can perform Keels exercise.4. Even if you have to lift light objects, make sure that your knees are bent and your back is straight.
