Deep Pain In Back, Pelvic Bones, Legs And Ribs Post Surgery Posted: 07-24-05 14:24pm
Hi, thanks for this forum!
I had a complete hysterectomy via
laparoscopy 4 weeks ago due to large
ovarian cyst and painful fibroid tumors.
I am now in constant aching pain in my
lower back, pelvic bones, legs and even up
into my rib cage. Sitting is very
painful--only laying flat on my back eases
the pain. Has anyone heard of or
experienced this? Has anyone found
anything that helps? Does it eventually
go away? I felt I had no choice because
of the cancer risk my doctor was concerned
about, but everything was benign, thank
god! Any advice?

infection now. Fever chills??

I had full hysterectomy this last
february, after surgery I was at home for
5 weeks and I felt constant pressure in
the spot where they stuck epidurel
needle.
6 months later --- one evening I have
experienced terrible hips pain going down
to my ankles, also between my shoulder
blades.
They put me on muscle relaxer, and lortab
which helps a lot but the problem is still
there.
I had to have 2 mri so finally they have
find out I have "sack filled with fluid
inside mine spinal cord " which is
probably the reason I have pain right
now.
I asked my doctor if epiderul needle could
be a reason but no body wants to talk
about it or admit it.
Deep inside I feel this is what is the
main reason I am in pain.
They gave me shot of (can't remember the
name -- turdol )? And my hips and legs
do not hurt right now but pain between my
shoulders is getting stronger every day.
I have appointment with the orthopedic
doctor, however I do not believe I will
hear the truth from him also.
I am not going to let them operate on my
spinal cord, they said the other option is
to drain the fluid.
I am very angry they do not say
hysterectomy and back pain are related and
I am angry they do not want to admit those
two are related.
I feel like zombie until I take lortab and
than I am zombie again falling to sleep
everywhere.
But in the same time I had no other
choice, my menstrual pains were so strong
I had to be transported to hospital by
ambulance for the last 3 months before the
surgery.
So right now it feels like I changed one
pain for another
