Hii Polly I'm really sorry you are in pain at the moment. Hugs️
I had my ovaries removed as well, this was a while ago now but I don't remember having any joint pain. I had a lot of bleeding after and I also had two infections which was so annoying.
I would suggest calling your specialist cancer nurse or maybe contacting the Macmillan nurses, you can call, email or use their online chat feature. They will be able to advise you better than I can.
Whatevers causing your pain I hope it starts to feel better for you soon.
