dVH/RALH 12 days post hysterectomy: more soreness than before?

Hello! I had davinci hysterectomy 12 days ago, with ovaries removed. Very sore today, more so than last week. Anyone else feeling like this?

Yep, my 16th day was a bear with crampy achiness and tears - which is VERY unusual for me. A heating pad, motrin and an extra long nap helped. Hang in there!

3 weeks past davinci, ovaries removed day 16-18 hit hard, first 2 weeks were better. This week Sore all around, especially places that weren't hurting at all previous 2 weeks! Fever, nausea,migraine, tears too! More napping, ibuprofen, and back to not doing much at all has helped. It was a bit discouraging! But I'm starting to feel much better again,I did get antibiotics 2 days ago due to fever, possible UTI. Of course with the weekend here no word yet from Dr. Hang In looks like what everyone is saying! The light is coming at the end of all this! 😄

Four weeks out and more miserable than before surgery. Bleeding, pain, regret, and daily tears. Tired of hearing about all those who just had a beautiful recovery and feeling like I am the only one who is not getting better.

On the flip side I am SO happy for all of those women who healed so nicely because I do not wish this on anybody!

Wish I had known then what I know now. Good luck to all of us slow healers!

Thank you so much for replying, sisters!! I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one struggling with this. I keep feeling like I should feel better/ do more. It's honestly become depressing. I suppose with seeing many posts about ladies even going back to work at 2 weeks I was hopeful. We do just have to hang in there, and heal in our own time. It's hard to be patient with myself. Putting in a call tomorrow for more pain meds, trying to accept where I am in healing process but it makes me nuts! Thanks for making me feel better. I'm hoping all of us feel better very soon!! <3

Finally, i thought i was alone. My surgery was the same as urs just 1 day later. & i feel horrible. Pain in my lower right side, took a little tumble with hasn't helped anything but had pain there already. Out of pain meds. Besides my emotions are still all over the place even with estradiol which seems to give me migraines. I hope this gets better soon for those of us who are struggling. Hugs

I really hope it gets better soon too. It does make things harder trying to adjust hormonally after all of this. I'm on estradiol too. I don't know if the sadness I feel is from adjusting to that or the frustration of the healing process. Maybe it's both. The pain moves around for me, sometimes feeling very much like bad cramps, other times stabbing like pain in incision area, but always feeling really heavy when I'm up for a good while doing things. I want to feel a sense of accomplishment but I've been too tired to do much, even things one can do sitting down. Our bodies must need a ton of rest after what we've been through. Hugs, sisters. I sure hope each one of you gets some good rest tonight!!!

Egads so sore today ladies. So very sore. Dr. Approved ibuprofen only. I am now feeling with much more of a vengeance all the things I should NOT have done.. How are the rest of you doing today?

I'm with you still very sore mainly lower back and left side I am still on Ibuprofen and Noroco (?) as needed an it was surely needed last night. I have Dr.'s appt today so I will update later :-)

I was in a lot of pain 4 weeks post op. I didn't realize that I had an infection around my incision on the inside. I had an abdominal hysterectomy. It was only when I just could not stop crying that I called the doctor and they gave me antibiotics for the infection. I waited so long because every time I called about something they would tell me it was normal.

Everyone heals differently so you might want to get checked out if the pain persists. Good luck and happy healing.
