want to share with ladies who experienced hip pain before or after hysterectomy

Hello,

I am scheduled for a dvh in about 2 weeks. I have had extreme, weakening, painful,...LRQ radiating to hip joint, buttock, groin and back of thigh for 5 months.. A bit of tingling, and slight muscle spasms, though not alot. I have NOT had my hysterectomy yet. I was hoping it would help with this pain.

My history is a R oophorecotmy and appendectomy removal in 2008. Sex was painful then, but still doable.

Since 2008 surgery, I didnt have sex alot , and didnt really have a BF. I could do cartwheels, and hike and swim though no issue at all.

Last year thought I noticed It was a bit more difficult to urinate, and if I walked for a long time, I got alot of central pelvic pressure. I also just couldnt wear a tampon anymore at all. I was told I had pelvic organ prolapse. I can see my cystocele right at the opening. and my cervix is about half an inch from the vaginal opening.

Well, I went to a uro gyne and they started treating me for tight or weakned pelvic floor by applying pressure internally in my vagina, and making me do hip rotations, all of this was to strengthen my pelvic floor, In the mean time I got a BF and started having sex.

Ever since then I have been in excruciating pain, unable to work, barely able to take care of the kids, house and dog.

Its been about 5-6 months of pain, somedays are now better than others, compared to the first 3 months I couldnt walk more than3 minutes. Now on a good day I can walk about 15-20 minutes.

My doc says I may have scar tissue that is causing this pain, and he thinks a dvh will help but he doesnt know if it will take away the pain. I am 45 and I was very active, This pain has got me down,

Has anyone any relevant experiences, I believe this is some kind of nerve damage, although I do not know what the cause of it is.

I am serioulsly wondering if a hysterectomy will help or hurt.

thank you for sharing if you have any kind of info or related experience

I don't know anything but I hope your hysterectomy does relieve the pain. Since the bad pain started after trying to treat a prolapse non surgically, I'd feel hopeful that surgery would help.

If it doesn't, if it were me I'd be changing doctors.

My situation is much less complicated than yours. I had a 4" fibroid in the cervix. I started with difficulty urinating, and then eventually ended up where I couldn't pee at all. (Surprise hysterectomy!) After the surgery I notice an almost total absence of hip and tailbone area pain which I had almost constantly before surgery (which I thought was from too much dancing, but in hindsight was probably due to the fibroid pressure in someway.) So I guess I'm saying it is possible that it might make things better.... but who knows.
