2 Weeks Post Op, Total Abdominal Hysterectomy, Back Pain! Posted: 11-30-04 12:04pm
I am just 2 weeks from surgery. I am
suffering severe lower back pain.
The doctor told me she thought it was
pooled blood causing pressure on a nerve.
She also said it may take 2 weeks to 3
months to resolve.
I also have severe interstitial cystitis.
So my bladder is very painful all the
time. I have been on strong opioid
medication for 3 years.
80mg. Oxycontin every 12 hours, 15mg.
Oxycodone every 4-6 hours and now for the
back pain dilaudid 6mg. Every 4-6
hours.
I should not be hurting like this!
The pain feels like it radiates down my
legs and my knees feel like they will give
out.
Any ideas? Thank you.

I am nearly three weeks post op fvh I
started with the back pain straight away.
The surgeons said it was because the
catheter was not in correctly, I was
desperate for a wee and the bag was not
filling. They said that the pressure of
the bladder and ill fitting catheter was
pressing into my back. I have suffered
ever since. Realy wish you a speedy
recovery and hope things get easier.X
