Hi there,

Your post really struck a note with me- Right down to being a Graphic Designer.

The pain I have now after my Lap surgery is worse than before. My doctor has been incrediably vague about it too. I am very lucky I have a incredibly understanding boss. I find sitting at a computer all day very very painfull when I'm cramping- Or it feels more like a horrible squeezing ache with intermitted stabbing pains that can have me close to vomiting.
Not a very productive situation. I find wandering aimlessly at a slow walk keeps me the most comfortable. Makes me look a little odd in the office though!
I'm guessing this isn't the ideal outcome of the surgery but I'm hopeing it will get better. It was only 2 months ago, I was off work for over a week, looked like I had been shot 4 times in the stomache and had horribly referred pain and wind pain. I also can't take strong poain killers as I have a very low blood pressure and heart rate and have stopped breathing on Morphine several times. Not much fun..
Your situation sounds a lot more complicated than mine though and I wish you the best of luck.
I also find sitting on a fitball helps the with the pain as well as hot packs and rubbing my tummy with melaluca gel. A good bottle of scotch helps as well!
