Why does everything hurt 2 or 3 days after surgery when I felt so good immediately afterwards?
Why does everything hurt 2 or 3 days after surgery when I felt so good immediately afterwards?
Several reasons for this. First, you were given medications to help relax you and your pain during the surgery along with the anesthesia. This combination of medications may stay in your system for a day or two after surgery. Secondly, as you start feeling better, most patients become a bit more active, this can lead to increased discomfort initially.
