Had Robotic Hysterectomy Due To Pre Cancerous Cells. Having Back Pain. Suggested Surgery Or Injection. Guide?
I had a robotic hysterectomy 11/05/2012, due to pre cancerous cells. Everything was removed. I have had painful intercourse with my husband of 34 years since I have had the hysterectomy. I have seen 2 gynecologists one said I had adhesions, another said I have a neuroma on my vaginal cuff. I have had 4 children and the back pain I feel right now after my exam today is very similar to the back pain I felt with labor. I was advised that this is uncharted territory and can either have an injection in the site (painful) or surgery. Note: I have had Morton's neuroma in both of my feet.

Hello, Thanks for writing to us, Back pain is common after uterine surgery you can first do physiotherapy, If pain doesnt relieve then you can get a shot of injection. The pain is of neuropathic origin , either Pregabalin or Gabapentin or Amitriptyline usage will resolve the symptoms. You need to learn and continue back strenthening exercises. I hope that I have answered your query. Let me know if I can help you further. Take care
