Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Having cramps need not necessarily indicate a recurrence of cancer. After hysterectomy it can take 3 months to a year for complete surgical recovery. You must go for regular follow up imaging to rule out any recurrence. Cramps might be due to nerve stimulation occurring after surgery.
