New pain

[Jenstir75]

I'm 6 weeks post hysterectomy and endometriosis excision, have been left ovaries though, and I've been experiencing a lot of pain all throughout my abdomen for the last 2 days. I had been fine up to this point with my recovery and I don't know what could be causing it. I haven't had my follow up with gynaecologist yet and I don't want to go to the doctor's but paracetamol and ibuprofen are doing nothing for the pain. It seems to be more concentrated in my bladder area and further up where I think my stomach should be. Any advice?

Hi, I’m sorry but I have no answers for your pain question and I do hope it gets sorted very soon. I have got to have the same operation as you in a few months time but they have put me on an injection called Zoladex for 3 months to stop my periods until the op and to help any further endo forming. We’re you offered or given this please and if so how was it? J x

Thanks for replying. No I wasn't offered zoladex. I had been Esmya for 3 months prior to surgery but that was to try to shrink fibroids to make the surgery easier and to avoid having a laparotomy. I still have my ovaries so not experiencing menopause just yet which I think is what zoladex does (chemically induced menopause). Are you having ovaries removed?

No thank goodness my tubes and ovaries are all fine it just endo is all over my bowel and uretha and I’m 48 so am not having any more children 😜 I am not going through the change yet! But looks like I may experience it!! Xx

I had similar op in July, you might be over doing it- 6 weeks isn't long. Big hugs xxxx
