Pain after D&C for miscarriage?

Question

Friday I had a D&C for my miscarriage, I was at 7 weeks.
The emotional pain, I expected, but the physical pain seems to be getting worse. They told me to just take Tylenol, but it doesn't touch the cramping I have - that bends me over.
They stated if I bleed as heavy as a period, to call them. Last night, I bleed thru twice and had to change the sheets; however, it was not as heavy as a period. It was more as though the blood was diluted with something else clear. I don't know what.
I have no fever, nausea or vomiting.
My migraine pills contain Codeine, so I took one of those and already decided if it doesn't touch the pain I am going to the ER.
Has anyone else had this this much pain after the procedure? I can't even sit up for long periods of time, I have to lay or stand up.

I am so very sorry. You need pain medication and if you have to go to the ER they will give you a couple and tell you to call your doctor tomorrow. Just keep an eye on your temperature just like you are doing. Codeine is a pain killer and should help at least get you through to tomorrow. Call your Dr. first thing and demand help. They should never have sent you home without something.

Pain After D&c

You will hurt afterwards and I bled awful after mine. They gave me pain meds and I was okay within a few days. Your body has just been through so much. You do bleed as heavy as a period, but you shouldn't soak so many pads within an hour I believe. I would call whoever did it or the hospital that it was done at and ask them for sure. I know I called the hospital after mine and they told me what to do and everything.
