Pain 5 weeks after total abdominal hysterectomy - not well any one else had the same?

[wendymac]

I had my hysterectomy 5 weeks ago now and was doing really really well - no pain well nothing compared to what I have before the op. Terrible endo, 3lb fibroid, 20 week sized uterus - dreadful. Today I'm having lots of pains in my stomach it's a dull aching feeling and not sure why as I've been fine. Bowel movements fine and wondering if it's trapped wind? Has anyone else experienced this? It's not nice xx

Hi Wendy, sorry to hear you have pain, I had a vaginal hysterectomy so did not have abdominal scar and don't recall a lot of pain only general tiredness and weakness. Hopefully the pain is part of the healing process but if it still bothers or gets worse I would make an appt with the G.P x I expect you have your 6 week check with the consultant soon, well done and all the best xx Remember to take it easy.
