Common Questions and Answers about Post hysterectomy side pain
hysterectomy
Recovery went generally well, but about 4th week I began to have sharp needle type pain, tingling, sensitivity to touch on my stomach above the incision. Also, pressure and pain on the lower right side of my stomach. I saw my dr for post op. She pretty much said she had no clue what it was. I've gone back to work now and these symtoms are painful. Any clues?
since the pain seems to be more tubal I decided to have my falopian tubes removed in Feb 2011 if after this procedure I still have this pain I will then consider a hysterectomy.......
Hi your pain is normal, it is a 6 weeks healing time for a hysterectomy,,,it will get better each and every day .It is very very important to do nOTHING no lifting, not to many stairs, no vaccuming, no bending, twisting, or carrying anything heavier than 3-5 lbs.
i just posted my pain problem and I understand how you feel. My hysterectomy was only 4 weeks ago, but i have very strong pelvic pain and it is strong on my left side in hip area and into my lower back. My uterus and cervix removed, but my ovaries are still in. I have been told that my pain shouldn't be like that and doctors office said it is ok. I don't feel right and it's constant pain like you said, and only for a short time in day does it feel ok.
A few days later I developed a bad rash under both my breast,I applied cortisone cream 2 to 3 times daily,2 weeks later a rash broke out on the outer side of my arms, no itching,no pain. The rash is from my shoulder down to my wrist. When I went for my 2 week check up, doctor said it could have been a reaction from the cleaning solution before surgery. It's been over 2 weeks and it's still on my arms! Just strange.

I am 2 years post hysterectomy robotic. Went back into the hospital 7 days after due to a pelvic abcsess. I was in the hospital for 7 days and on home health for 10. I have never been the same since. My stomach is huge, my lower parts feel weird. I have tremendous lower back and hip pain to the point I cannot move when I get out of bed. It is ruining my quality of life. I try to exercise a stretch pain is tremendous. Is this a result of my surgery it all happened after that. Any suggestions?

I had a hysterectomy the 23 October 2007 for pelvic prolapse, I had a vaginal hysterectomy and kept both ovaries and my cervix. Prior to my hyst I was experience chronic pelvic pain (since June 06), Pain on both right and left sides of my pelvic area, a 'throbbing' pain inside my vagina (was told this was due to my uterus bearing down on my cervix), extreme pain with intercourse and many other symptoms.
Currently about 90% of the pain has returned.
I had a partial Hysterectomy and two weeks after I've been having alot of pain on the leftside of my abdomen and my back. The pain doesn't go away even with narcotic medicines and the doctor says everything looks fine. Also when i get up and start walking the pain gets worse and worse. The only time it doesn't hurt that much is when I'm laying down. Also I feel on my left leg because the pain is so bad. Need answers please.
Yes, this can be a process sometimes, but there should'nt be that much pain 7 weeks post surgery.
Are you taking any hormones? Have you had your 6 week checkup? Did you wait 6 weeks before having sex?
You should get in to see your Dr and tell him/her what's going on.

i had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. i am still experiencinga lot of pain like the worst menstural cramps ever and it hurts really bad to use pressure to have a bowel movement. Is this normal??
laparotomy
That being said, other women have had pain similar to yours after hysterectomy. Although you cannot prove that it's from the surgery, it more than likely is. But your surgeon is not likely to admit that especially if he/she did not warn you of that possibility beforehand (informed consent). It's not unusual for other organs to be affected by hysterectomy because the uterus is a place holder / anchor for the bladder and bowel.
