I almost didn't come back to the forum as it turns out that I don't have cancer after all. I was diagnosed with a cancerous fibroid and told that I needed a total hysterectomy. I had my open surgery on the 13th July and was told that it wasn't cancerous. I still haven't had my histology back but I'm not expecting it to be bad news. I left hospital two days after my op but went back in the day after as I was in so much pain. I have liver disease which means I can't take strong painkillers. I stayed in for another two days and they did a CT as every time I emptied my bladder or bowel it was excruciating. It felt like my bladder was spasming. There weren't any collections so it seems that it's due to the excessive adhesions from my previous c.sections which needed a lot of resecting during the hysterectomy. I am still struggling with the pain which doesn't seem to be getting any easier. Any advice? Deb
Hi Deborino. Good to hear from you and read your good news, sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing. Have a chat with your CNS or contact your GP for advice on pain relief. My hubby was on co-codamol for his hip problem - they didn't touch the sides for pain relief - they made him so ill with constipation and sleepy all the time. He's now had a cortisone jab which has helped with the pain but it's so debilitating.
I hope they get you sorted out and quickly. Come back and let us know about your histology results if you feel like it.
Sending you hugs, Barb xx
