Hysterectomy Experience Part 5 - Post Op Day 4

[@McGoughHeather]

When I had an ovary out last summer, I ended up with a pinched nerve on my left side…very painful. In a few weeks I’m having a complete hysterectomy and am praying that I don’t end up with a pinched nerve again. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@nathanandtiffany]

I hope you don’t either. It was pretty uncomfortable, but fortunately for me mine passed pretty quickly.

I’m having a hysterectomy next month and I’m scared

[@nathanandtiffany]

Surgery is always a bit scary. Have you discussed your concerns with your surgeon?

[@lemir3559]

Did you have any emotional changes? I'm on day 5 post surgery and feel sad and like I could cry all day.

[@nathanandtiffany]

I didn’t have that but I also kept my ovaries so i did not have an immediate jump Into menopause. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor to see if counseling, medication, or hormone replacement is a good option for you individually.

@@nathanandtiffany I am feeling better today thankfully. I just talked to my doctor this morning, and he said that some women do experience emotional changes a few days after surgery, but it's temporary and goes away.

Did u not want opiods or did they think it wasn't necessary to prescribe u some, atleast 10 pills is what they usually give.

[@nathanandtiffany]

I don’t need them. Aside from the nerve thing I was feeling pretty well. I left the hospital taking only ibuprofen.

I hope that they at least gave you something stronger just in case my girlfriend had a hysterectomy and she really needed the painkillers but everyone's different hope all is good and stays good

Hi there! What nerve topical did you use?

[@nathanandtiffany]

Sorry just seeing this. It was not specifically for nerve but it is called rehab remedy by natures rite
