Hi ladies,
I’m 30 years old, have no children, and don’t plan to have any.
I had an open myomectomy, cystoscopy, and hysteroscopy on September 18th. During the procedure, 10 fibroids were removed, with the largest being about the size of a golf ball.
Recovery has been going well overall—the incision is closed and healing nicely—but I’m still dealing with a lot of pain. I experience sharp, shooting pain on my sides, almost daily back pain, and discomfort when my bladder is full. My belly is also quite swollen.
The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons and evenings. I’ve had my follow-up checkups, and my doctor reassured me that things will improve over time.
I’m about to start my second period since the surgery, and my whole body aches as if I’ve just had the operation.
I’m wondering if any of you are experiencing similar symptoms. It’s always reassuring and encouraging to know that others are going through something similar. Thanks in advance for your support!
