Hysterectomy

Hi had my hysterectomy on Wednesday morning everything okay went home Thursday night had keyhole surgery I have now got to wait results from tests if I need anymore treatment just keeping my fingers crossed I had to go to A&E this morning had pains in both shoulders in upper chest lots of wind because I have had a heart attack before I was worried they did loads of tests x rays blood tests all okay just wind from surgery back home now feeling low at moment

  • Hi Jenny203, glad to read you got yourself checked out by the docs, very sensible with your history. I had my appendix out a few years back (keyhole), boy, the post op shoulder pains were really something. Extra strong mints and gentle walking helped.

    I also had lap assisted hysterectomy Feb 2018, kind of expected more gas related pains, but it wasn't a problem this time. You must still be tired from the surgery, being in A&E must have really worn you out. 

    Try to eat some protein with each meal, the ward sister gave me that advice to aid the healing process. Lots of rest, along with gentle walks. 

    I was lucky, and didn't need further treatment after surgery. They did find a small adenocarcinoma, which was well contained. Try to take one step at a time. 

    Look after yourself.

    regards, gamechanger

  • Hi Jenny

    Pleased to hear your op went well.

    Good that you were checked out re pain. The wind is not good is it.

    I go on Tuesday for my results.

    I hate not being in control of my life xxx

    Take care
