The pain continues

Can you believe I am still having pain problems? I have been uncomfortable for a few weeks since the surgery, but today about 4:30pm, I had an attack. I don’t know how to describe it other than an attack because that is what it was. I was writhing in pain. I popped some Vicodin (prescribed for me last month after surgery) and went to bed. Forty five minutes later I am still in pain from mid abdomen through my groin into my left thigh to my knee. Like a rope being pulled through my body. So, I called the doctor’s office but they were closed. I then called the hospital. (Knowledge as a nurse does come in handy.) I asked to have the “on call” GYN doctor to be beeped and call me back. A few minutes later she called me and, thank God, she remembered me and my case. We talked and decided to meet tomorrow in the office to talk about a hysterectomy.

I did eventually get some pain control once I applied a heating pad. Seems muscle or ligament related because I did get some relief almost on contact.

In other words, it ain’t over yet. Probably a good thing I canceled RT. At this rate, I wouldn’t have been able to go.
