Diabetic With Pain After Hysterectomy Posted: 01-28-04 16:35pm
I am 8 weeks out after a total
hysterectomy and still have debilitating
pain in my lower abdomen. I am also a
type 1 diabetic (28 years). I just had a
ct scan to see if the doctors could find
the source of pain and was told that they
saw nothing significant - apparently I
have some "nerve damage". What does that
mean? Is it a catch-phrase for
undiagnosed pain? Do you think the
doctors are just assuming that because i'm
diabetic it's nerve-related? What should
I do from here? Are there any other
diabetics out there who have had trouble
with pain after a hysterectomy or any
other surgery? This is very frustrating.

Hi! Pjstevens,
my name is cindy . I
had galbladder & exploritory surgery
done 7 months ago. I also have pain that
is debilitating in my lower back and hip I
have problems with my left leg to where it
gets stiff at times. I have been on
muscle relaxers since my surgery. Yes!
It is very frustrating but beings I don't
have health insurance the doctors won't do
any thing for me.I had told them that I
was not like this before my surgery and I
think they've taken it to heart. I don't
know what to do about it either and I am
not diabetic the last time I checked.
