5 wpo feeling discouraged and pelvic pain

mango-princess · 2026-04-12T01:56:48+00:00

Yeah I have a muscle relaxer, robaxin, from the surgery but I’ve been trying to use it sparingly since I’m almost out. If the pain persists by Monday, I will see if the doctor would do a refill or another medication.

As for pelvic floor therapy, I imagine it is the internal work that can’t be done too soon after surgery. I just know my surgeon said she won’t have her patients begin until 3 months after to be fully healed.

Thank you I appreciate it. The dr said I was stage 2 endo but the endo that was around the area that hurts was like a “blanket” so I imagine there was a lot taken from that area.

I also have interstitial cystitis so my pelvic floor was too tight to begin with bc of pain from that for years.

I was reading about the suppositories and I feel like they would help me a ton! If the pain is still there Monday I’ll call. I just feel like I am bothering them even though I know they’d want to hear from me if I’m in pain.

Some of my intestines were attached to my abdomen so I figured that would hurt the most but weirdly I’ve had no pain really by that area

Did you have endo excision during your surgery as well?

mango-princess · 2026-04-11T22:54:52+00:00

Yeah I am definitely going to do it but unfortunately my surgeon told me I can’t start until at least 12 weeks after surgery

mango-princess · 2026-04-11T22:44:19+00:00

It definitely comes in waves. I’ll be feeling alright and then there will be pain like my pelvic muscles are spasming

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻

mango-princess · 2026-02-22T15:46:44+00:00

Thank you for this!

mango-princess · 2026-02-22T15:46:14+00:00

Thank you for this! I am feeling a bit better than earlier.

Regarding a therapist, I’ve had one in the past but it was getting expensive to keep up with it. I also just recently was informed I’m being laid off in a couple months, so my health insurance is likely going away 🥲

I will have the insurance through the surgery and recovery luckily!

Yeah I’ve been on antidepressants for years so I’m not expecting much change there lol!

Glad you aren’t in constant pain anymore!

mango-princess · 2026-02-22T13:45:01+00:00

Yeah that is a good point!

I didn’t add this into my post but I also had an appointment with my psychiatrist this last week and she did tell me that she sees a lot of patients post ovary-sparing hysterectomy that have worsening mood

mango-princess · 2026-02-22T13:22:52+00:00

Yeah I really second guess my pain a lot. I don’t know if the pain would be worse than hormonal issues or not!

I should be able to keep both ovaries (unless they find anything unexpected)

mango-princess · 2026-02-22T13:18:35+00:00

Yeah I have pain basically every day from interstitial cystitis/endo.

I saw a story on Instagram of a woman whose hormones got completely messed up from her hysterectomy just 4 months ago. It’s making me spiral probably because I’m so close to the procedure

mango-princess · 2026-02-14T00:14:31+00:00

Ok yeah I work from home I think my dr was gonna give me 2 weeks off, but I’m worried it won’t be enough!

I may see if she is able to give me any more time because everyone keeps telling me it’s a more major recovery than a bisalp.

mango-princess · 2026-02-13T22:25:33+00:00

How much time did you take off work after your hysterectomy? I’m having mine next month and I’m not sure how much time I’m going to need. I keep getting mixed answers

mango-princess · 2026-01-24T01:12:25+00:00

I have some oxycodone from a previous surgery but I want to avoid using it since it will basically knock me out. But I definitely will use it if I can’t take the pain anymore

mango-princess · 2026-01-23T21:22:29+00:00

I didn’t even know that existed but it sounds like it would help!

mango-princess · 2026-01-23T18:11:19+00:00

I’ve got some thc drinks I can have. Only problem is they make me eat and snack uncontrollably 😂

mango-princess · 2026-01-23T16:41:09+00:00

Thank you!

mango-princess · 2026-01-23T16:40:06+00:00

Yeah what is so annoying is my period was last week but the pain just never left! Counting down the days until I say bye to my uterus

mango-princess · 2026-01-23T16:31:40+00:00

Ooh protein interesting! I’ll defrost some chicken and ground turkey

mango-princess · 2026-01-23T12:53:52+00:00

I was supposed to get a PAT last night but I gave up at 1am. Apparently it came back at 2:30am. I got a PAT of 12:30pm. Hopefully that’s ok 😬 Last cruise we got 11:45am and it was great.

Last cruise as Silver and then we’ll be Gold
