Pelvic Pain Following a D & C

Back again. I had a D & C and Hysteroscopy last Friday.
It was to remove a uterine polyp.I also have a cyst in my right ovary that for now we are watching with transvaginal ultrsound.
My question...I had very little bleeding following the proceedure
maybe 2 days. No cramping.
On Monday I started to feel a dull pelvic ache and lower backache,pain in both right and left lower abdomen, and rectal pressure, but no bleeding. Motrin does not help. It is not unbearable discomfort,but constant.  Any one else have this type of aftermath??
I spoke to a friend who had  a D&C done a few years ago,she says its normal.
I should mention that I am 8 years post menopause, I am 55, and have a large fibroid that I have had for years.
This light bleeding is the first time I have seen bleeding or spotting in 8 yrs. Feels weird. Input much appreciated.
Thanks to all .

Hello...I agree ...you need to call your surgeon and tell him what is going on....pressure and a dull ache could be an infection....it could be there is a bleeder in there.....watch out for any rise in temp and if that occurs you would be wise to go to the E.R.
Peace.

Thank you both for your response. I considered infection. But
I was premedicated due to prolapse heart valve. I am also on my 12th day of treatment for H Pylori which is 2 Biaxin 500mg and 2 Amoxicillin 500mg
a day.Seems I am "overloaded" with antibiotic.
I am wondering if the D&C disturbed the fibroid in some way,or irritated the ovary cyst with the introduction of "gas" to inflate uterus??
Still think it could be infection? No fever,just constant ache and pressure.
Thank you both very much for your concern and time. Very much appreciated.
