Suggest Treatment For Constant Abdominal Pain After IUD Removal

I had MirenaIUD removed due to constant pain,had laparoscopy that was normal and still had pain. I ended up having robotic hysterectomy 4 weeks ago. I have had severe pain in my right abdomen and groin also severe low back pain since. Ob doc has referred me to ortho. He prescribed a muscle relaxer. Also referred to pain clinic I see them next week. I never had problems before. Do you think it s related to recent surgery?

Thank you for the question.

It sounds to me like there was some component of pain present before the surgery. It also sounds like there must have been pain present even after the IUD removal given that you went ahead with surgery. Sometimes the evaluation of pelvic pain is in an effort to answer the question "is it GYN related pain or not". Given that your uterus is gone and you still have the pain suggests that it is related to something else - perhaps the pelvic bones or muscles. Evaluation in a pain clinic is a good idea. Physical Therapy might also be able to help.

I hope that this helps.
