Dear JAZZYTM:  The experience of pain following surgery is widely variable.  It is not uncommon for women to have lingering pains following surgery for months and even longer.  The hope is that these will become less frequent and intense.  If it gets worse or becomes disabling, you may want to seek assistance from a pain specialist.
