I am 48 years old and had a hysterectomy approx. a year ago. I was almost bed ridden for six months in unbelievable pain and what I now know is anxiety as well.  Back pain was out of control and bowel movements agony.  It was like my whole body was stitched up too tight and all I wanted to do was pull my vagina and anus back down two inches where it used to be.  I have been to every doctor specialist gyno healer shrink to no avail but I found a Thai Masseuse who understands and does deep tissue massage externally but losens everything interally. Sounds crazy but she was the only person who gave me relief from the pain under my anus and vagina.  Only problem I have now is my stomach cramps up like a chinese burn, runs all the way down to my calves and up to my head causing head aches.  Doctors put me on valium which stops this temporarily. I feel like I have a vice around my whole body and I can't breath.  Before op I played netball three days a week and worked part time. Now I spend most of my time on couch because I have to pace myself and the valium is not working very well anymore.  Lifes just f..... great.
