What is causing this pain?

Jane, it is possible that you are experiencing ovarian cysts. While you no longer have a uterus, your remaining ovaries still produce hormones and eggs and you should still be having yearly exams. It is also possible that you have Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrium) grows in other areas of the body. The tissue growth (implant) typically occurs in the pelvic area, outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, bowel, rectum, bladder, and the delicate lining of the pelvis. However, the implants can occur in other areas of the body, too. These are both things you will want to discuss with your OB.

Thank you Ruchele. These are symptoms I have over and over. That is why I had the hysterectomy. I used to have excruiciating pain. Over time I have even been sent to psychologists because of all this pain. It gets to be depressing. I do my best with extra strength tylenol or iboprohen

I truly feel for you, I have been in your situation and finaly had to have both ovaries removed as well, and while they were in there they did find endometrial tissue on my bladder and stomach, it didn't need removed once my ovaries were gone as there was nothing left to trigger the tissue to bleed.

How do you feel now? I didn't have my ovaries removed because the doctor thought I had years before menapause and he didn't want me to have to start hormone therapy

Believe me... I would do what ever if I thought it would end this. IIt took years before I took the advice of a specialist and had the uterus removed. Even then I questioned if I should of done it.

I had been on hydrocodone for years. I don't take it anymore. But at times I wish I had it.
