" Hi there,
I get the same kind of pains. Night tends to be the worst because your laying down with no ther distractions. My Dr. told me it is normal and I can take any of my pain meds left over from surgery or Tylenol. He told me I don't get any rewards for having left over pain medication! I also take nice warm baths with something soothing in it, like baby bubble bath, or oat meal bath. I also get itching, so wearing anything soft and lose helps as well. Make sure to take your vitamins and anything else they told you to take, along with eating healthy. It will all help make you feel better. Along with anything else that makes you happy... like ice cream :) I hope the pain starts to ease for you. Let us know how your doing.
