Uterine/abdominal adhesion surgery

I had laproscopic lysis of adhesions, my adhesions were 15 years old. My doctor did not tell me the pain could get worse with the removal and said I could go back to work in 3 days. I could not do much the 1st day due to anesthesia and could not have sex or use tampons for 2 weeks.
Is this normal with this surgery? I am in excruciating pain since the surgery. What are the normal post-op instructions for such a procedure?

Thanks. This actually happened over a year ago, and I  am completely disabled. I went back to her a few days after surgery and they did a ct, nothing ruptured. I am still in constant pain.
I was wondering what instructions others recieved.
Her lawyer said it is not necesary to provide info before the surgery beause it is not a serious procedure, and, the post ops were correct, but, everything I've seen suggests the surgery not be done unless there is a blockage of organs and a minimum 2 weeks bedrest is required????

Call the doctor.  He should not have told you to go back to work in 3 days, but given that you did, he should get you an emergency ultrasound to check for internal bleeding.
