Constant mild cramping?

Hi all

I had my lap in December and since then I've had constant mild cramping, sometimes it's on the left lower abdo (ovary), sometimes it's on the right lower abdo (ovary) and sometimes it's in the centre lower abdo (uterus). It's there all the time, sometimes much worse than others. It definitely gets worse with activity. Also along with this I'm getting daily bloating... So bad that I have to wear maternity trousers. My regular ones just get more and more uncomfortable the more I bloat. Could this be surgery recovery still?? Or did the worst happen and the endo return already? I'm getting the mirena coil put in on Tomorrow... I hope that this helps with the pain..  Anyone got any thoughts/opinions?

Thank you xx

Hi Lindle

I've had my follow up, they said they found a 'small amount' on the 'left side' which was odd because I had right sided pulling and pain... No mention of it being on the uterosacral ligament/s... So confused!

I'm sure I have that and that is all it says... I'll have a look when I get home. I've just been to the GP actually and she has given me amitriptyline for the constant pain... Any thoughts?

Hi Lindle, I read your response to this post and just curious, is 3.5 months after a major excision surgery considered as early days? I had my op with a surgeon who took out 24 pieces in June 10 and I can still feel pain/swelling inside, should I have hopes that there might be still healing going on? I am asking because a lot of places I read say that by 3 month all the healing should be over.... Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the info. I just joined the facebook group but couldn't locate the video that you were talking about?

sorry still couldn't locate it, do you mind sending me the link?
