9 weeks post hysterectomy - vaginal hysterectomy with horrible lower back pain
My OB cleared me to return to work last week. I worked Wed, Thurs, Fri and Monday. However, working my sedentary job was horrible. I sat for about 40 min then had to stand due to my lower back, tailbone pain. I stood for 30 min then sat again. By noon I was in so much pain. Then I had to endure a 1 hour ride home. On the way home areas of my lower back were burning. I went to see my M.D yesterday. He was upset the O.B dismissed the back issue. By the way, I mentioned the back pain to my O.B. at my 2nd week and 6 week follow up. He seemed very bothered at my 6 week follow up that I still had lower back pain. I'm a busy body. I have never had lower back pain before. This back pain gets worse with activity. My M.D. has decided to do a Abdominal/pelvic Ct Scan. He put me on Tylenol 3 with Codeine and gave me 1 week off work for now. I haven't had sex with my Hubby since the surgery because I'm worried he will hurt my back. I'm so worried ... any feedback will help. Thanks

Re: 9 weeks post hysterectomy - vaginal hysterectomy with horrible lower back pain
Hi Beti, Sorry to hear you are dealing with this back pain. I am in a similar boat - in week 7 and gets worse the longer i stand/move around. I find a heating pad helps but it is inconvenient. Have been trying tylenol (muscle and back pain) but is not doing much. I also have numbness in right thigh and toes, not sure if related as the back pain is really low. I see my doctor in two days for 6 week follow up and was planning to return to work next week. I will let you know if there's any insight re the back pain. Take care...

9 weeks post hysterectomy - vaginal hysterectomy with horrible lower back pain
I'm sorry about your pain. This is so frustrating. The CT showed a 4cm mass on right ovary and a 2.6 sac with fluud. I went back to the o.b per my medical doctor. The o.b put me on Toradol, antibiotics and birth control about 1.5 weeks ago. I went for a follow up today. They did a pelvic ultrasound. The o.b called and said the ovary is now normal and that's all he can do. However the pain on my back is still there. I called my insurance nurse line. They suggest to call my Md. For maybe an mri. By the way..my O.b. said when he walked into my room today that maybe it is a torn ligament due to how I was positioned during surgery. I will keep you posted. I wish we were pain free. Praying
