9 weeks post daVinci hysterectomy ... why do I still hurt?

Hi everyone,
I'm 9 1/2 weeks post-op, kept both ovaries. I am still so fatigued so easily that I'm having trouble working at a desk job and in the last week have been experiencing pain as if I still have a uterus! Cramping like I'm about to get my period, general internal achiness. Is this normal at this stage? I know a lot was done in there, but I really thought the healing would be further along by now. I'm getting frustrated, feeling like I'll never be back to "normal."

My doctor told me it takes a minimum of 12 weeks and up to a year to fully heal.

Maybe you are doing too much and your body is telling you to slow down.

My Dr told me that at 6 weeks I would feel better but it would take a full year to be back to 100%. He was absolutely correct. 9 weeks isn't that far from surgery. You are defiantly still healing and will for awhile. Don't worry and rest when you need to.

Thank you, ladies. It's hard when everyone in my life expects me to be back to normal, and I'm just not. I was told that I'd be feel so terrific at 6 weeks! I felt better, but not terrific. I'll try to be more patient and wait for the day I feel terrific.

I am 6 weeks post-op and having lots of fatigue! The doctor I saw said fatigue could last awhile because there is still deeper internal healing going. I have read it can take 6-12 months to fully heal. I had that same cramping feeling a few days ago. It was a weird feeling!
