Pelvic pain - severe

I am 50 years old, had a hysterectomy (ovaries/uterus/cervix removed)  I have pelvic congestion syndrome pain for a year. I had this dibilitating pain before and after my hysterectomy.  Has become much severe that I have to stay laying down all day, I cannot work any longer. I cannot find a surgeon that will help me with the chronic condition, my pelvic area, groins and legs have great pain and pressure, In my vaginal the pain and pressure is like delivering a child I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!! I was told from my ct scan and ultra sound that I have this pelvic congestion syndrome (varicose vein in pelvic). My legs now feel heavy and there is throbbing pain. When I lay down the pressure goes but my legs tingle and when I get up in the moring I find my hands now get numb.  Each day when I get up, this nighmare starts all over again.  The pressure and stabbing pain in vaginal area pelvic, in my right groin is worse and its painful to walk.   I have been in and out of emergency with this horrible pain, no one can seem to help.  I now take sleeping pills ROUND THE CLOCK so I don't have to deal with the pain-nothing else stops the pain.

There has to be someone that can please help me restore my life my health,   I have seen radiologists, they all tell me, that because I do not have my ovaries I cannot be operated, they tell me to go see a Gynaecologist - so I do and they all turn me away and say you have had a hysterectomy, there is nothing we can do.  I  am left trying to find the right surgeon/doctor that can help me. Please, if you can or know of a dr-surgeon that can help me, please let me know so that I don't have to continue living this way.

I believe you may want to see a neurologist for some of your symptoms, like your hands getting numb.  Please see private message for some info I found.  It looks like one place that treats your condition is Johns Hopkins.
