Suggest Remedy For Pain And Discomfort In Ribs Post Robotic Hysterectomy
I am 50, 5'6", weight 157 and had a robotic hysterectomy in May 2014, 8 months ago. when I woke up from surgery I still am uncomfortable under my 11th and 12tth rib. The doctor said it was gas from the surgery. It is still there. My PC doctor has referred me to a thoracic surgeon who ordered a chest xray, full body scan, abdominal xray with no issues. Then I was referred to a Pain clinic and they have done two series of nerve injections. It has been 8 months since the surgery and I still cannot cross my right leg over my left leg, cannot pick up anything shaped flat from the floor and use to sing solo's in church and now cannot carry much of a tune anymore. What do I need to have done to me next to fix these issues?
