Thank you for your advice Shannon...i have tried the heating pad and it
has helped a little...i didn't have a hysterectomy i had a
hysterophy...i'm so sorry for the mix up ...but im still in a lot of
pain...i am going to call him and ask for more meds... he even told me
to rest and not to do anything until my next appointment which is a week
away...so i dont understand why he would give me 3 days worth of meds if
he knew the amount of pain id be in??? i'm beginning to hate these
doctors! Anyways i have another question for you if you dont mind...how
long have you been going through this??
Were you able to have children?? That's my worst fear...and i'm so
scared...but i'm not ready for a baby right now....have you tried the
lupron?? Ok well thanks so much!! Hope you are feeling well!! -Lis
