i had just the uturus removed dec second
so i am 3 weeks and 3 days post opp i am still haveing what i clasify as cramps its almost like menstral cramps but a bit diffrent just wondering if anyone else has this problem or is this jsut par for the course

other wise i am feeling pritty good i have lost a lot of weight my clothes are fitting pritty good well the tops any way i can fit into my jeans but not ware them for any length of time due to the swelly belly

i have learned to listen to my body and when my body says i am tired and i need to lay down i go and lay down

Hello
Iam having the same cramping as you also my back pain. Is is worst after you are up in the morning moving around? Also at night? I had my hyst on Nov30 so we are close in our surgery and recovery. The pain makes me nervous but the last time I called the Dr. they said to rest more. I don' t really do anything but lay on the couch and take a shower. Please let me know how you are doing with these cramps

Thanks,
Connie

for me its the evening but in the mean time i get like pin pricks of pain from my cervix and both overys every once in a while today is the worst very crampy and at times strong points of pain tho i have not gone for the pain meds i just go and lay down for a while in hopes it will stop it usually lessons but i am thinking all this is just par for the course

I had some cramping. What I would consider uterine cramping...if I still had a uterus. Anyway it seems that has been some gas pain when I started to get constipated. That's just my experience.

i too have had some cramping, and pain where i guess my ovaries were. tonight i had a pain so bad i thought oh god do i need to go to the hospital............then gas came out and some bm. i guess it was do to all the christmas food. it sure did scare me for a second. can't wait for this to be all behind me. hope everyone is doing good. hang in there!

from what you all are saying i think i could be haveing gas pains then so yea the answer to my question is deffentally gas i did pass some earlyer and feel a bit better
why does gas hurt so much now? mabe its jsut cause everythign in there is so raw
you are right i cant waite to get this stage behind us
i wonder what we have to look forward to next
lol

I've had cramping too. I kind of figured it was everything trying to settle in and find it's place after we have had so much removed.
Resting still seems to be the key here.

It looks like almost everyone who replied to this is around the same surg date. I too had an uncomfortable last few days. I have had a lot of help and people around...but think since 12-22 when my DDs arrived and then through the holiday with the festivities ...I have just been moving around more than before. I have had the cramping, the pin point pains and just plain overall hurting too. Yesterday I went to bed for a few hrs...and told my family I am going to sit more until the discomfort lessens and tells me I am resting enough now! Just what the sisters always tell us...listen to your body!

Same thing ladies. I'm about 3 weeks out. Was feeling great now bombarded with pinpoint stabbing pains and horrible cramping. Called the nurse this morning. Want to make sure it's not something more serious. Obstruction etc.

Heavens... need to edit profile. It says my hysterectomy was december 1952 that would have been a neat trick since I wasn't born then.
lololol
