I had my first lap just over a month ago and I'm experiencing exactly the same symptoms as you! I don't know if this is normal or to be expected. Seems like the op hasn't worked at all! xx

Have you been to the doctors ?? Yes I agree it's scary because I don't know what's going on with my body but my appointment with my gyno is on Thursday so I will just wait to see what he says xx

Hi

I experienced exactly the same I have had constant pain since my op and all my doctors keeps telling me is to give it time to settle down and heel properly but to be quite honest I think it's done nothing you need to go back to your doct and just get checked that all is ok. Also it's big surgery having a a laparoscopy people just think because it's days surgery you will be ok the next day but you've ha a lot of things going on inside being moved and poked and prodded I think you need to give yourself a good 6 months for your body starts to feel better.

I had my lap dec 2013 and am only now starting to feel a bit better and my pill has started to properly kick in thins have been very slow for me.

Good luck and please gets things checked out of your in that much pain x

Hiii.. That's bad it's frustrating cus I don't think doctors actually understand the pain we go through.. I haven't been to the doctors because my follow up appointment with my gyno is on Thursday so I will ask him about my symptoms .. I'm glad your finally feeling better that is a long time I thought after a month I was fully recovered but now I'm starting to think I've over done it x
