Surgery

[June2008]

So I had my tonsils out on Wednesday. Is it right to still be feeling really tired and lethargic? My throat doesn't feel too bad and I am taking less pain relief but I am just not used to doing not a lot.

I know the advice says to rest for 7 to 10 days but I really thought I might feel better than this by now. I've got things to do! ! Does everyone feel like this?

Sounds normal to me. You are still healing. Take it easy!

Normal to feel like this for the first week and it will gradually improve. I found the pain worse at night so would wake often and then be more tired in day. Be aware that pain may get a bit worse at around day 5 so good to keep up regular pain relief.
