cramping?

Today I am full of issues.
Anyone feeling menstrual-like cramping?
It might be my bladder, but I'm not sure what's up.
They took my ovaries so I don't think it's anything related to mensies, but it sure feels the same.
Hope this doesn't sound silly to ask.

Most of the pain I had in the first couple weeks felt like menstrual cramping to me. Is the pain completely different than what you'd been feeling?

No. It's been the same all along. Cramping.

Then I think it's completely normal. Not fun, but normal

Mine was like cramping as well as other little pains.

That is what mine feel like too! From when I woke up after the LAVH it felt like really bad cramps. I also feel pain where my ovaries used to be, then I realized, that is where 2 of the small incisions are. I told my DH I hope it's not phantom pains.

I felt the cramping right after surgery (menstral-like cramps).

As of now, it seems when I am up and moving a lot (which I have increased over the past week), I feel slight crampy-achiness in my abdomen. Ibuprofen has relieved it.

I hope you feel better!

They're not menstrual cramps. They're not phantom pains. They're not. They're not. They're NOT!!!!!

For me, they're a whole lot less than cramps ever were, but I'm getting really tired of the one side hurting.

Of course, it'd probably hurt less if I stayed on the pain pill schedule. *SIGH*

I was surprised to wake up from surgery with horrible cramping. I thought that was over! I told the nurse and she laughed and said that a lot of people have described the pain that way, but she had no explanation for it. I had to laugh too. Go figure.

Oh. I have the "phantom ovary" pain too! Thought I was going nuts! Glad to know it's common. I feel basically like I've had a bad period for two solid weeks now. But, it's still not as bad as before.
