[nannywitch62]

i had my operation for total hysterectomy 15 days ago and so far all seems to be progressing well except i'm experancing severe groin pain. and i can find nothing in books on recovery about this . is this normal>? or should i  concerned

yes, it is very normal to have pain such as described during the healing process...the muscles and nerves are all affected by surgery! Burning is usually nerve and stabbing, pinching and so on muscles...When I had my first surgery when those nerves began to wake up the pain almost brought me to my knees...by surgery number 8...I am pretty well versed on what to expect and it's normal for all sorts of things to happen during the healing phase...but I always suggest if in doubt ALWAYS call your surgeon! Let them take a look if for no other reason then to ease your mind!

Glad i read this feed i am 1 week post op and have severe burning pain in right groin also i had smiley face c section cut for my hysterectomy  so i am glad to know this pretty much is a common thing.

I have many many women complain of groin pain post hysterectomy. However I do not feel it is normal. Especially when you use the word severe. If it was mild Id say it could be from the surgery or position on table or even from the catheter.

Severe...could be a neurlogical problem a nicked nerve or perhaps a UTI , UTIs are quite common post surgery. Best get checked asap.

Good luck

I had a total hysterectomy on the 13th aug 2009 and still have groin pain,most people i speak to say its normal,so just bear with it ,its early days and a long healing progess,best wishes.
