Someone has a same?

Hi,I had total hyst, uterus removed in July 2006.
After, I have good and BAD times, and when the doctor performed my internal exam I had a great deal of pain and he sent me for a vaginal ultrasound. He told me, he think, I have a "mass". The US was fine, after I ask him to do Cat scan, bicause of the exam pain and I have BACK pains. The Cat scan was OK too. I need to know, what could be? I have a hard time to seat, and work like that. Any suggestion? I hate to go back, my doctor is really not a work with me guy. Sue

Could be adhesions dear, get a medicine ball and use it. They start growning very soon after surgery and hurt like everything. They would show up on scans as lines, small masses, "netting". Ask the doctor about this because pain is a symptom never to be ignored.  If need be get a second opinion.

I'm sorry to read that you have such pain after an internal exam.  It may be that your doctor was rough with the examination and hit upon some nerves that were trying to heal.  There are a lot of nerve endings around the top of the vagina, joining up to the pelvic sling muscles.  Injury to these can cause back pain.  I had an epidural with my second child (who was a big baby) and believe that the birth injured some nerves.  The back pain was sometimes unbearable, especially after a day's work - agony.  But please be assured that with time the nerve endings will heal (our bodies are wonderful) and that rest when sore helps.  It may have taken two years, but I no longer suffer from this (I'm ten years free).  I would also try the body rolling - lots of women have benefitted from it.

I would also say that the ultrasound and CT scan should completely reassure you.  You don't have a mass.  You will get better.

Take care.
