Anyone have any post surgery nerve pain?

I’m 4 months post major laparoscopy now. I’ve been recovering really really well but I do get occasional sharp nerve pain where they cut out a chunk of my vagina (sorry TMI).

I would love to know if others have experienced this and what they’ve done to help? I’m doing lots and lots of exercise which I don’t know is helping or hindering.

Look forward to your responses

Anyone please?????

I can’t advise as I conceived 2 months after my last surgery which has eased my endo symptoms. I’m coming up 10 weeks. But I hope someone else can advise better. xoxo

Hope u heal soon xx

Thank you... I’m just confused whether I’m

doing the right things. For instance I’m doing a lot of exercise but wonder if that’s making it worse?

Has your pain settled now? X

I found joe exercising for a while and in the end I had to give myself a break as really struggled with walking. My pain was groin and down my leg. I found I had to have a few weeks of real rest and some acupuncture sessions. The acupuncture (with electrodes) really helped with the nerve pain. X

So would you say your pain is settled? I’m trying to stay positive but it’s been a shit year- I suppose I’m just looking for some hope!

Maybe I should give the exercise a break then do you think? X
