Pain running down leg from episod.

13 days post op from Lap vag hyster, kept one ovary and cervix. The ovary they took was about the size of a lemon, non cancerous. Bladder sling, urethera lift and vag repair and I am still having a pain in my bottom area between the rectum and vagina. It is hard to sit on most seats and when I get up or out of bed in the morning it is a major pain in that area. How long do I have to deal with this. Any one else having this problem. Pain meds only help a little. Could it be something wrong? This morning when I woke up and got out of bed their was a very sharp pain that went down the back of my right thigh from the episod area. It took a min and few steps to get the pain worked out. Every time I am sitting the pain is running down my right leg. Then when I stand it takes a min or two ef easly putting weight on the right leg to get the pain managable to be able to walk. I will def. be calling the doc in the AM.

Isnmrb19,



If you have new post operative paon you need to call your doctor. It is too soon post op for us to even guess what your pain is from.

Let us know how you are doing.

Dr is in sugery right now and wont be back in till after lunch sometime. Nurse said that it sounded like a sciatic nerve. Pain meds dont help so now I just have to wait till this evening to hear from the DR.

If it's sciatica trying heat on your lower back should provide some relief.

Thankfully my leg is much better now. After resting a couple of times yesterday with a heat pad. Also the Dr office called me in pain meds with antiflamatory so I went to walmart and wanted to walk to help ease my leg and ended up over doing it in the long run with my swelley belley. I cant win for losing. LOL! I guess I'm just pushing myself and doing to much to soon. I'm not used to just sitting around and doing very little. Its hard! So this morning when I woke up I was kinda sore from my outing to walmart. I learned my lesson and it made me realize I wasnt ready to do as much as I thought I could.

Glad your Dr. got you some meds. The antiinflammatories will help. I know that my perineum area is still sore and at times it can be difficult to get comfortable. Some chairs/stools are impossible to sit on. I have used both ice and heat to help with the pain with great success. Good luck

Thanks and yea, my kitchen chairs are imposible to sit in.
