Normal? Muscle, joint pain/weakness

I'm 10 wks postop and my lower back, hips, thighs, and entire pelvic region is stiff, tender to touch and achy. Is this normal post op or is it something else. I've felt it on and off since surgery but the last several days have been worse?

Did they take your ovaries? I was just reading about muscle and joint aches as a menopausal symptom. Could that be happening?

me to my hips . joints, area around insision hurts to touch. My muscles are achey ,and i just feel tiered. Im 7 weeks post op TAH both ovaries and cervix removed. on estrogen 75 patch since 5th day post op .Its driving me nuts........... gonna see GP thursday see what he says?

I'm sugical Menopausal. Not taking HRTs at this point. Saw compounding pharmacist yesterday and we will be working toward a compound in the next several weeks. I was amazed at how much knowledge he had. So yeah, I guess it could be menopause!! YUCK!!! I feel aweful. Was so hoping to feel batter after surgery, since I had been feeling so bad before hand. Aaaggghhh! Glad to know am not the only one.

Me too low back and hips but I still have my ovaries, I thought it was from all the sitting etc?

I am 12 weeks post op (5th Feb) and too much means I still suffer some what. Yes sore back some times and stomach tender and last few days lots more niggling pain in lower stomach. Bugger when it needs an itch in public as yep cut is still tender against rest of body.
I find if still do too much and especialy bending too often I know its time to slow down and still heal

Have spoken to nurse who said need my bloods checked as may need testosterone as well as estrogene ! this gives you a a much greater feeling of well being , WELL BRING IT ON ............ will let you know how i get on at GPs tomorrow . (will be fighting off full beard next i expect lol)

I too have had some odd joint pain like in my ankles which have never been a problem. I started taking some Joint Maintenance Formula to see if it helps. My right knee feels odd at times like the knee cap fell asleep and is numb when I wake up. It feels better after I exercise but I had to warm up my ankle the other day by stretching before resuming my walk. Very strange.
