Swelling- 5 Wks Post Hysterectomy
Posted: 10-22-05 18:06pm

Has anyone had pain-pinching/burning type when I am walking or standing.I am 5 wks post abdominal hysterectomy-and my right hand side-near my hip has this pain and swelling when I put pressure on my feet.
My abdomen is still slightly swollen from the op but more so on the right hand side-doctor says its pockets of fluid under the scar?Since then the pain is worse. Surely I should be more mobile now that walking shouldnt affect me.
Any advice would be grateful.
Thanx.

I am doing ok 5 weeks post op. I am definitely more comfortable walking than sitting. I still have burning sensations on either side of my abdomin but don't know why. It's mostly after I have been trying to do some normal things like cooking but I do nothing strenuous like vacuuming, etc.

Pain/pinching At Incision Site!
Posted: 01-13-06 11:26am

I, too, had this same type of pain. Mine was on the left side though! My doctor said it was most likely a pinched nerve. He gave me a shot of local anesthesia. That helped a little. I am only 2 1/2 weeks out of a laproscopic supercervical hysterectomy (uterus only). I am 31. I am a school teacher, and want this recovery to be over soon. I miss my students. I had planned to go back to school in two weeks, but I have a terrible, burning, pressure-type cramping which seems to originate on the left side. It's deeper than the incision site. It is very similar to that pressure you have when you're about 8 months pregnant and the baby's head is downward. Anyone ever had that? How long were most of you out of work?

Well I am 2 weeks out of surgery with a lsh, and I too am having sever pain and burning in my right side. I am thinking that it is because I am right handed so everything I have done would have been on my right side. What I don't get is last thursday and friday I was beginning to feel normal again. Pain was less and it states that as soon as you are comfortable you could prosume normal activities so my husband and I had sex. Now I am in a ton of pain but only on the right side. Please help was I also wrong??

I had a vaginal hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. I've had pain on my right side and my lower back. It has been a crippling pain and usually occurs at night. During the day I feel quite normal and therefore, I think I do to much. Tonight, my husband and I were playing around and he penetrated me. Did anything happen to you as a result of intercourse prior to the six week time? I feel so foolish and i'm ashamed to tell my doctor. Maybe, i'll wait until I have some signs that somethings wrong. What are your thoughts?

Burning Pain Is....
Posted: 10-13-07 16:41pm

My doctor told me it is where he attached the ligaments that he took off of the uterus and ovaries etc. Once is all heals up, we should be fine. Meanwhile, its a searing sharp burning pain at times,

My total abdominal hysterectomy was seven days ago.
I hope this helps.

I had a tvh 7 weeks ago and returned to my teaching job after 7 days. We had a field trip last week that resulted in several hours of hiking around the zoo and now....I am in some serious pain.

Getting back to work was tiring, but this is crazy!

Your not alone! I had my partial hysterectomy last November and I'm still in pain.
My suggestion is to get a CT Scan it will help your doctor see whats really going on. Not just one scan do it in 3 month cycles.

I'm having my tubes removed tomorrow hope this is the end of sharp piercing pain I've been having for months!

Take care all...my prayers are with you all! Wink

I am 5 months post hyst and I still have some tenderness. It is getting better but it is a slow process. Mine was an abdominal full hyst with salpingo-oopherectomy. I still have some back pain and some abdominal pain. Sorry I'm not much help but it is definitely better than it was at 5weeks, or 8 weeks even.

Hope your pain goes away soon Aflsh.
My surgery this past friday went well.
My fallopian tubes were swelled to the size of sausages!
They were finally removed! Thank god!
The pain I'm feeling now is at least bearable in comparison to the pain I was feeling 6 months after my parcial hysterectomy.
I think we'll always have tenderness, it's the throbbing sharp pains that are really hard to handle.
