Re: New Here, I've got Questions! (pain)

Angel, I don't know about pain during intercourse at all. I was sexually abused when I was 3-8 by 3 women so I haven't got a clue about that since I have not had sex at all with anyone after that nightmare. To anyone: I wondered if this was relevant or not. My grandmother had uterine cancer at 28, so is this something I should take into account with this pain? Any help would be nice. Amy At Tue, 8 Feb 2000, angel wrote: >

>>Ialso had alot of pain in my abdomen and intercourse was completely out of the question for my husband and I.This went on for about 6 months.I nad 3 laproscopes and nothing was relieving the pain.My dr tried vicodin,relafen and a couple of other medications and nothing worked,I fineally decided to have a hysterectomy because I was beside myself with pain.It has been almost 7 months now and my pain is still not completely gone.
