I have had a numbness in my left hip since surgery...Feels like needles...Sometimes it gets real bad and other times it will settle down...Just some of the pains of life...

I'm experiencing debilitating back and hip pain from a total, unnecessary hysterectomy. One of the reasons we're feeling hip pain is because the gynecologist severed 4 sets of ligaments that anchor our hips and tailbone when they amputated our uterus. These ligaments are what gave us pelvic support. Now, my rectum and bladder is collapsing into my vagina and my vagina is falling out of my body (prolaspe) There is no easy fix. My uterus had anchored my vagina inside my body and when she cut off my vagina, there is no longer anything holding it up. Hysterectomy opens up another way for a woman to be mutilated again with repeat surgeries that cause nerve damage, infection and trauma to our organs. In my case, the gynecologist lied to me and told me I had "tumors" I didn't have. I had no gynelogical problems before getting hysterectomized and castrated. For all you women out there contemplating hysterectomy, please go the the HERS Foundation for advise before falling prey to someone amputating your God given Uterus, cervix and ovaries. If you don't heed this warning, you will suffer the consequences of life long health problems, pain and suffering and loss of sex life. The medical profession would never castrate a man without reason, yet they do it to about 750,000 women every year.

I have all the confidence in the world in this surgery...It is performed with the greatest skill available...I have no regrets...My fibroids had to come out or I would have bled to death...Since that time I have never looked back...Everything about my life has been better...I had and have the numbness in my hip from moving me around on the operating table...This I found out afterwards...I accept this even though I don't like it...I had a very competent OB-GYN...I researched everything about him and the surgery...Sure there are problems after the surgery, but many of these things are problems of aging to start....Now about the sex life...You have no idea of what you are saying...Sex is in the mind and it is you who makes it work...My sex life has been and still is better than ever....You see I disagree with everything you have written....

My wife (55 years) underwent complete hysterectomy in April 2008 after the doctor diagnosed her bleeding due to fibroids. She had earlier undergone two Ceasarian deliveries. Now she has multiple complaints from High Blood Pressure, pain in the back below neck radiating to the arms, palpitation with hot flushes accompanied severe sweating. She also complains of crushing feeling in the middle chest region, fatigue and loss of balance while walking. Can anyone help

Having had this same surgery when I was 47 years old and for the same reason, hopefully I can help a bit...The high blood pressure would have nothing to do with the surgery...This you could attribute to her Ceasarian deliveries...I had a vaginal delivery and this is when mine started...This is the stress of the heart and a baby...KInd of one of the things that nature does to some women....Her pain in the back below the neck and radiating to the arms could be anything...Palpitation with hot flushes and severe sweating is Menopause...This is a result of the Hysterectomy...It is something that all women go through...As far as her crushing feeling in her chest region, I would see the doctor on this...I, too, am fatigued as age does this...Now for her loss of balance while walking, this I would see her doctor about...This could be caused by high blood pressure and getting light headed when she gets up....

I hope that this has helped you...I know very well the fun of aging...But it is the only show in town....

Good luck,

Caroline

Thank you for the prompt reply. Is there any remedy to reduce her suffering and symptoms. Apart from her own suffering it has disturbed our whole family.

Hi Again: Have her see her OB-GYN for some possible hormone treatment...He should be able to give her information to help her get through this time in her life...Good luck.....
