horrible back pain after procedure?
I had an oopherectomy back in January from an ovarian tumor, and now have two tumors on the other ovary so my full hyst is scheduled for Oct 19. I'm 29, and my husband and I were trying for #2 and now we won't be able to.
I wanted to post this on the post op section but I wasn't allowed to since I haven't had the hyst yet. Hopefully someone has had the same procedure as I have, and experienced the same issue.
I came out of the anesthesia from the first surgery and was nauseated but not too bad. Got up, went to the bathroom, got back in bed, ate a graham cracker, and then it felt like someone was ripping out my spine.
It was the most horrible pain, like back labor when I had my son, but amplified to the 10th degree. They had to put me on morphine to make me stop screaming.
My surgeons thought something went wrong and I had to have a cat scan the next day to prove that everything was still holding from the first surgery.
Has anyone else experienced really bad back pain after an oopherectomy or hyst?

Re: horrible back pain after procedure?
Sorry you had to go through such pain. I have heard that sometimes it is the positon you are placed in for the surgery that can cause pain post-op. I hope everything works out for the second surgery and that you don't go through the same thing.

Re: horrible back pain after procedure?
The back pain I had was way worse than the incision or any other post-surgery pain! That was the first thing I remember after waking up and it was very bad for several days. I couldn't sit one position for more than about 2 minutes. I tried pillows, different chairs, etc.
I guess it went away after a couple of weeks or a little less. I was on the operating table for 6 hours and am sure that's why it hurt so bad.
Hopefully you won't have it again this time. Best wishes to you!:

Re: horrible back pain after procedure?
I had some back pain after LAVH but nothing compared to what you've described. I did want to suggest you post under the ovaries forum. There will be ladies post op ovary removal and some awaiting additional surgery like you. I would like to believe the severity of pain after your ooph will not repeat itself after the hyst.

Re: horrible back pain after procedure?
Thanks for the suggestion of posting under the ovaries section. I've listed it under there as well.
I'm just hoping someone has experienced the same thing as I have.
Neither of my surgeons had even a suggestion of what could have caused it and I'm really worried that is going to happen again.
