Uncertain if this is normal or if I need to be concern.

Hi ladies!!
Well it's been 7 months since I had a TAH and i'm still having some issues and not sure if i'm alone with this. It seems that every month right around the time I would have normally had my period I get sharp pains and the area above my incision swells and is very tender. Is this scar tissue or the muscles still healing?? I would have thought by now things should be feeling some what normal . Thanks!! This site has always been such a blessing!

Hi Josiecat39

I'm post surgery only 8 wks. but I am having something similar happening. Not sure if its the same tho. the week after surgery, I started noticing a "different" pain really low in my groin, left side. went back to doc 1st wk and he sort of blew me off. pain sort of subsided back to what I considered normal post op pain. at about week 5 or 6 I'm not sure, we'll the pain came back with a vengeance. went back to the doc and he did an ultrasound and told me that now I had an ovarian cyst! seeing your tag line, I know you know what this is! I never had this before surgery tho. They told me that the cyst would shrink on its own, but now I think I'm ovulating again and I have the pain again. Not sure if you are having the same type of thing? the doctors seem not too worried about this! I can't believe that I've had a hyster, and now I have another new issue. Its supposed to be over. Isn't it???

I"m sorry your having trouble, if its weighing on your mind, call your doctor. After all, I think half of what we pain them is for peace of mind. So call, go see your doctor and get an answer.

good luck

Did you keep your overies or cervic? If the pain is bad. See a dr just to make sure everything is ok. And you don't worry about it then. Hugs. Hope you get it sorted. And sorry I am not much help.
