Six months after hysterectomy and still uncomfortable.
I'm six months post op & feeling very uncomfortable still. My spine, ribs, & hips ache. I have sharp feelings, like mini needles, in my stomach. Bras are not my friend anymore but need to wear one of course. I've been to a few doctors to find out if something is wrong but can't get any answers. Does anyone else feel like me?

Re: Six months after hysterectomy and still uncomfortable.
Did you have your ovaries removed? If so, the aches and pains may be hormonal. If it's possible for you to take HRT, your may want to give it a try to help with your symptoms. If you kept your ovaries, try keeping a symptom diary to help your doctor pinpoint the cause.

Six months after hysterectomy and still uncomfortable.
Thank you Elissa. I had my uterus, cervix, right ovary, Fallopian tubes from left ovary removed. Pathology showed endometriosis. I feel worse than ever. Unfortunately, I am unable to take any HRT's because I lost a sister to breast cancer. Not sure what to do?

Re: Six months after hysterectomy and still uncomfortable.
Sometimes ovaries can get a little sleepy and take their time to re-establish artery connections. Antidepressants can be used to control symptoms of menopause as an alternative to HRT. It may be worth looking into.

Re: Six months after hysterectomy and still uncomfortable.
I'm four months out, have ovaries and feel terrible as well. Lower back pain, headaches, pain in abdomen. You are not alone. I hope this goes away. I'm seeing a pelvic physical therapist.

Re: Six months after hysterectomy and still uncomfortable.
I'm only five (going on 6) weeks. But still am having hip, lower back, and leg pains which I was sure the fibroids were causing. Now they're gone and pain is still there. Sad to learn that you and others have what seem to be the same type of pains six months out. I asked here earlier about this, and some women did mention getting physical therapy including pelvic therapy. I still need to check with my doctor.
Maybe what we're experiencing are the after effects of the internal stuff the doctors had to cut and reattach.

I hate that you feel bad but I'm so happy to see this post. I had an abdominal hysterectomy 5 1/2 months ago with only a piece of cervix left and my right ovary. I have been in horrible pain. I've been in PT because I threw my back out a week after my sergery and it has still no recovered. My stomach from my belly button down was numb on the outside and now I'm guessing nerves are growing back. My stomach seems to hurt more and more each day and the cramping is becoming pretty bad. I also get sick to my stomach daily. I never EVER thought the recover would be this hard or this long. I feel like I was not prepared at all for this type of recovery. I guess it is just a slower process for some more than others. 😫😫
