Consistent pain after laparoscopy

[Cat1991]

Hi guys, hoping you can help. I had a laparoscopy about 4 weeks ago now. They removed superficial endo from my ovary. They found adenomyosis in the muscle of the womb. They also remove superficial endo from my uterosacral ligament to the right of the urethra and recrum. They also inserted a mirena coil. I’m still daily pain with cramps, usually starting mid morning and easing off into the afternoon. I just wondered if anyone else was experiencing cramps for that long after? I feel like I wasn’t really told what to expect, so went back to working from home after 4 days, thinking I would feel better much sooner, but have been in pain everyday since the opp. Is it normal to be sore still after this amount of time?

It is very likely a mix of healing from the op and the Mirena settling in. Post op for me last year was horrible - had 3 weeks off work because the pain was terrible. I think it was mostly the Mirena after a few weeks. Hopefully in a few more weeks, the pain will diminish as the coil settles. Internally, you can be healing for up to 6 weeks

Thanks so much for coming back to me on this. I wasn’t prepared for these cramps with the Mirena!

Neither was I! I had mine put in during surgery and woke up in massive cramping pain that was going down into my legs!
