6 days post hysterectomy - numbness in groin area

Day 6, had davinci hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. Also had lymph nodes removed.i am experiencing dumbness in my groin area, and pain. Is this normal? I tried a warm heat, but that made it worse. I applied ice, and although it was short term...the pain is radiating....should anyone else have suggestions?i am still taking pain meds.

It's not uncommon for ladies who've had surgery due to a cancer diagnosis to experience numbness to varying degrees afterward. Of course, it's always a good idea to run these things by your doctor, just to be on the safe side and to keep everyone in the loop as to your recovery progression.

I also wanted to invite you to check out our Cancer Concerns forum as well, if you'd like. There's lots of great information and ladies who've been there/done that who'll help however they can.

Sending hugs and positive thoughts your way!
