Hi Laura:
Welcome to the forum!!!
Sorry to hear about your pain returning 4 months after your full
hysterectomy....I truley understand how devasting that can
be....especially when you think that radical surgery will end your pain
and it doesn't. Surgically I am where you are and I continue to have
pain as well.
One thing that you may want to ask your Doc about when you see him/her
is if there were a lot of adhesions during your hysterectomy. Adhesions
can also cause pelvic pain.
Best Regards
Marlene
