6 months Post op Pain/Discomfort
Hi girls,
I am 6 months post op today..had LAVH..and over the past few days have had strange tummy pains and a very odd feeling on my left side under my ribcage. It is like a tenderness, but with a fluttering feeling feeling too. Has anyone else had pains/odd feeling this late post op? Also have been peeing a lot, but had urine test done at Docs and all normal. Just wondering if it is to do with my surgery, or if it could be something else?
Thanks a lot for listening...

6 months Post op Pain/Discomfort
I have had the strange pains too! I am 1 yr. post op and still have the tenderness around my rib cage on the right side and lower abdomen. Its not nearly as often as it was in the beginning so I guess maybe thats just all part of the healing process. Sometimes I wonder if its endo returning or if its adhesions, I just don't know. Wish I did!

6 months Post op Pain/Discomfort
I'm 6 months post op and besides a bigger belly I have healed quite well up to this point,,,, My concern is that yesterday, I was opening a very large window in my house and I felt a weird pulling sensation in my incision area. I went to bed last night and this morning I have odd abdominal cramps. Does anyone know if you can do internal damage to the incision site this far along in recovery?

I am sorry to hear this happened to you. I think you should call your dr. He might want to see you or give you reassurance over the phone.
I hope you feel better.

Liila
I have had 4 yeast infections and 4 utis since my surgery. It makes me crazy. I also bled for 9 weeks straight, very heavily. And on and off since.
I take everysay as it comes and when I feel ready to do something I will do it. My drs have cleared me for nothing but my husband and I agree that I will will know when I can do things.
Hope you feel better.

6 months Post op Pain/Discomfort
Hi girls,
Well..it would appear we are not alone in feeling these pains, which helps me a lot. I haven't actually had them for two days now...so maybe they have gone, or I will get them back again...who knows. As for peeing, I still get the feeling I may pee myself but for no reason...even when I have just been and am getting ready to go out I am scared I'll laugh or something and end up with an embarrassing wet patch in my trousers. I wonder if this is just the op...or my age? I am 51... I ABSOLUTELY refuse to wear tana ladies or anything else yet... I feel I'm too young. Am I just being vain?? Sorry to moan on but really didn't think these issues would all raise their ugly heads just by having a hyst. Grrr......
A very sorry for herself Rosieface :-(

No, you are not being vain and you are way too young. When I leave the house I know where all of the store restrooms are. I was thinking to myself, is this sick? It is very embarrassing. A friend ofmine recommended I see a uro/gyn for this problem. maybe you should do the same. I first have to now go back to my reg/ob/gyn and see who he would refer me to or do it on my own.
Remember you are not alone.
Hope you feel better.
