Physical therapy post hysterectomy
I hope everyone had a very nice holiday.
I read somewhere on this forum about physical therapy and now cannot find the discussion. I am 7 weeks post op, and also have fibromyalgia. I am recovering well, but have a lot of aches and pains in my lower back and hips, and still have my swelly belly. I'm sure the aches can be attributed to having fibromyalgia, the stress of surgery, and being inactive for so long. I just wonder if a course of PT might help me, but of course I don't want to push it this early in the game. Does anyone have any suggestions/information?
Thanks,
Boolea

I've heard PT can help. Doctors are a pain about prescribing it because they have to answer the insurance companies. I had a knee injury 15 weeks post op and had to have PT. My therapist also worked on my stomach to help me get rid of possible adhesions from surgery.
