Hi Crafty, so sorry to hear of the pain. Are you able to take pain meds? Are you constipated also?
I ask because I had abdominal surgery in March, sometimes the pain med help, sometimes it just doesn't matter, it just hurts. I used a heating pad, it was such a comfort and helped so much with the pain. I waited 3-4 weeks before I used it though. Call your doc, they may not want you to use the hp, they may want to change your pain meds. If you are hurting too much, it is not going to help you heal.
Are you trying to do to much? Take care of yourself, get your rest morning and afternoon naps, give your body extra time to do its healing.
If you are a C, are you taking your SFS, drinking warm liquids, having fruit smoothies? Maybe some whole wheat crackers (ff of course). Baking potatos, sweet potatos in the micro wave are easy meals to prepare.
The doc can absolutely help you out with the c, call them.
Hope it gets better soon.
