Almost 4mths Post Op

Hello! My name is Sofia and I'm glad to be a part of this group.
I had my total hys end of Dec. 2 days after surgery, I ended up getting an Ileus and a hematoma and that landed me in the hospital for 2 weeks. The surgery was robotic and the doctor was shocked to see the complications. Anyway, my ENDO was really bad before the surgery so we assumed it would be a slower recovery. I'm now into my 4th month and I have been experiencing lower abdominal, lower back, rectal and leg pain. It's almost like the ENDO pain I used to experience. The pain is made worse by sex. This FREAKS me out. I have asked my doctor multiple times and she says that it may just take me longer to feel better.

I'm frustrated. I thought I would be so much better and happier after surgery but I feel the same. Has anyone else experienced this?

Love to all,
Sof
