I had a partial Hyst. about 2 yrs ago. I also am experiencing the same effects. I thought it was just me. In fact I thought it was my syatic nerve. Now I am thinking different. Just recently I stated to experience a pain that starts around the navel and shoots into my lower abdomen. Seeing this site has opened my eye to the fact I have not lost my mind and I am truly in pain. My OBGYN is pretty good, I have not mention this to him because I was not sure if this was in my head. I have an anual check up and plan on mentioning this.
I am so glad i typed in my problems. I am 12 weeks post op after a hysterectomy and im in agony with my left leg mainly my calf but also have left side chest pains. Is it worth going to my doctor? Thank you so much
Hi, I had a complete hysterectomy, almost directly after I had severe leg pain, mostly in the left leg, but the right leg hurts as well. Doctors have no answer, they chalk it up to fibromyalgia. Thats crazy, something happened to me on that table, i wish i knew what is wrong with me. I went through major depression, anxiety and feeling like i wanted to end my life. I feel for all of you who are going through the same thing. Its a nightmare!
I had a hysteria in Jan 2011. I was having severe bleeding during my cycle. Upon examination, my doctor discovered my uterus was large. I had an ultrasound which revealed a 5cm mass growing from my uterine muscle wall. I asked about the possibility of cancer. I was told the odds were 1/2%. It looked like a large fibroid. I had a LVH. I still have my ovaries. The mass turned out to be a rare cancer. I went in to shock mode. I immediately started experiencing body aches and tingling numbness just like many others here. I have seen many doctors and none could tell me why. I discovered my answer online. We aren't crazy. These pains are very real. I have adhesions which are causing all this pain. It feels like fibromyalgia symptoms. I found a chiropractor that painfully broke up some of these adhesions. it helped so much! I haven't been to the chiro for a few weeks now. The pain is returning. I hurt all over and my arms and hands go numb at night. I hurt all day. Every inch of me. I plan to go back to the chiro. It's a hard way to live being in constant pain but I am happy to be alive. I have CT scans every 3 months. So far, no more tumors yet but this cancer has a high rate of recurrence. I love life, even with this pain. I am just thankful that I know what is causing it because of this site. I was sure it was cancer but now I know it is definitely due to surgery. I feel horrible all the time but forge on and enjoy my life every day.
I AM 29 AND JUST HAD THE SAME SURGERY 4 DAYS AGO. I AM SUFFERING FROM SOME OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I CANT SLEEP AND HAVE NUMBNESS IN MY RIGHT LEG STILL. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT ITS KINDA SCARY. WHAT SHOULD I DO
Hi!i'm 39 yrs. old and I just had gone my surgery last May 2011 and I am like u.I felt some pain in left legs from thigh,hips and sometimes i felt numbness.You were really right if we just knew that it is gonna happened we might not do surgery.But now I'm just drinking Ibuprofen for pain.Thanx for sharing
Hi I know how you feel I'm 49 and had a full hysterectomy October 2011...I felt great for about a month after my surgery,but now I have achy joints and muscles,mood swings,my whole body hurts and the doctor won't give me an answer.
You have femoral nerve damage related to the positioning
You have femoral nerve damage related to the positioning during your procedure. Check you operative nurses notes and see if they positioned you in candy cane stirrups. You need an EMG from a neurologist
Thanks Christy. Going to look into this further. Wow! I just happened here looking up hysterectomy and never ever considered the fact that the leg pains began after my surgery. I, like everyone else have tried and been treated with many medications and therapy, all to no avail. Stopped all medication because the pain never went away but I did get numb and crazy.
For the last four years, I have committed to a steady regimen of exercise and though the pain doesn't go away my ability to handle it gets better. I feel better just knowing that there might be someway to get relief. Humn...wonder why my physician never mentioned femoral nerve damage.
Cheers to you.
Did you ever come right
did you get sorted or even feel better.
I thought I was going crazy! Then I thought people thought I was going crazy BUT I also have had pain with my joints and my knee feels like if I bend it to long it's going to burst because of the fluid buildup.... Have you found any answers??? I've had my drained 1 month ago but know there is more fluid build up.
I had my robotic hysterectomy on 9/28/17 and have many of the symptoms others have mentioned. I cry - can't do what I used to. However, I'm taking CBD oil (hemp) now. I take 3 drops of 1,000 mg 3 times a day. It helps. I haven't seen anyone mention it here. This is not the pot that makes you high. I never see anyone cured on here. Is there a chance of cure? Still hurt - whole leg.
Omg!! So glad I ran across this feed. I have all the symptoms of everyone on here after having my uterus removed a Year ago.Legs aching, toe numbness, full body aches and pain with weakness at times. I feel so bad at times wondering why do I hurt do bad, I have no uterus but yet I still have a period. Dr said I have a keloid where my uterus was operated and I bleed from that, so now I have to get the keloid removed smh!!! So sick of it all ladies, but we must stay strong and get to the bottom of all the aches and pain we're going through....Wishing you all luck and blessings!
