What Causes Pain In Hip Bone After A Laprascopy Hysreroscopy?

Hi, i have recently had surgery for laprascopy hysreroscopy and removal of emdimetriosis, 1 1/2 weeks after the surgery they found a 4cm cyst on my right ovary, but i have been having pain on my left side just inside the hip bone and on my right lower back mostly seems to be when i need to go to the toilet for a bow movement and if i do go to the toilet it gets worse and wont go away then i have to take panadene forte, the doctors just keep perscribing me pain killers and i think they will just make it worse, what should i do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
I am Dr. Selmani and I read carefully your question.
I think that even though you feel the pain in the hip bone , cause of pain is no the bone but one of the nerves that are inside the belly near the site of the the surgery for removal of endometriosis ( there are at least 2 or 3 nerves near that site). Nerve injuries during gynecologic procedures happen 1 to 2 % of cases.
The nerve can be damaged either by compression , or stretch or entrapment or even more rare from cutting the nerve or nomination of all these.
Most of these complains will go away itself gradually over weeks until maximum 6 months, unless the nerve is completely cut.
During this period I suggest you to keep moving and do exercise and walking and you can take some medication to calm down the nerve pain such as Lyrica ( Gabapentine).
Sometimes treatment with complex of vitamins B will help the regeneration of the nerve.
If the pain is the same after 6 months I suggest you to see a neurologist for further evaluation of the nerve status.
I find this answer helpful
