Robotic surgery 2/17...lots of pain!!

From everything I read before surgery it was going to be a breeze post recovery. So far not so!! My gut hurts badly, I am so black and blued it looks like a gorilla was jumping on it!! Any one else experiencing a lot of pain after this so called " nearly painless " procedure??

I had robotic surgery 2/25 and have also experienced pain. The bruising is to be
expected and , in my case, has gone away. I do have pain above my navel where
the prostate was extracted. This area is also distended and hard.

I still get shooting pains near my hip bones. I have used my pain medication
a few times. Pain is only sporadic . I have to remember whether or not the surgery
is robotic or not it is a major procedure. I hope all will be well for both of us as
time passes.
