pain from hyst. will NOT go away.

43 yrs old and just had an abdominal hyst(uterus removed ONLY) felt fine for about 4 days after surgery, which was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Now I've had pain about an inch below my incision site, which burns, stings and pulls. The pain is unbearable. Saw my doc, had catscan, blood work, and urinalysis, all show no signs of infection and everything is normal. but pain persists, only feels better when cold pack nums area. Unable to take pain killers due to nausea and fainting. Doc advises will send me in three days to pain clinic. Do other women expierence? Will I always have pain? Any other methods to deal with this?

It is possible that there is a suture caught under the skin, which is trapping a nerve, causing the pain. This is more likely if your pain is localized in one area. If this is the case, you might request that your doctor inject the area with Marcaine (a long acting local anesthetic) to see if this helps your symptoms.
No, postop pain like this should not be present this far out after your surgery.
