I had a vag hyst 10 days ago. The day
after I had bad back pain in my hips and
across my tail bone. The dr was called in
but I was in so much pain I dont recall
what was said about it. The past three
days it has gotten bad again. I cant walk
, sit, stand, nothing with out pain.
Motrin doesnt help, Vicoden helps but for
only an hour and a half then the pain is
back. I called and left message with my
Dr. What could this be? could this be a
side effect from the hysterectomy or
something all together un related?
Thanks so much

UPDATE
So my Dr office called back. The nurse
said I should be sleeping on my back. I am
a side sleeper/stomach sleeper. The nurse
said she didnt think it was related to the
hysterectomy but could be due to the fact
I sleep on my sides. I asked the Dr the
night the surgery was done if it was OK to
sleep on my side and he said it was fine.
She (the nurse) said to call back in a few
days if it isnt better. Any one have any
idea what could be causing this? Other
then that I am doing OK, little if any
abdominal pain/cramps, no fever, no
bleeding at all.. just the stupid pain in
my hips.
Thanks so much

I think that this must be normal for this
type of surgery. I had a vaginal
hysterectomy on Sept. 13 and I was on a
morhpine drip and still had severe
cramping and pain in my lower back and
stomach. I still get a backache once in a
while but all in all I healed very quickly
after this surgery. I was moving around
like nothing was ever done.
