Trouble after Hysterectomy
I had a hysterectomy in Oct. 2005. About 2 weeks after that, I started having a lot of problems. Just wondering if it was coming from the surgery. Heart beats extremely fast, can't think or concentrate, real dizzy, can't focus on daily chores, headache's, left arm and leg goes to sleep, body tremors, joints ache, blurred vision, jaws chatter like I am cold, can't remember. I never had any of this before the surgery and the Dr's can't figure out whats wrong. One Dr said I have a thyroid problem. First it was to high, and now it seems to be to low. I have had lots of blood tests, MRI, thyroid scan, blood pressure is fine and am going to go for an MRA this Friday. I would really like to know what else to do or if anyone else had ever had this to happen to them. 2 neurologist claim that nothing is wrong. One actually laughed at me. Which I didn't appreciate at all. When I stand up after sitting only for a short time you would think I was pushing 80 years old.(no offence to anyone that is 80-please) I am only 47. I found this site and thought it wouldn't hurt to post my question. I would truly appreciate any thoughts or input. Thank you.
I too am in the same situation, I had my partial hysterectomy in October 2010, right after I started with tremors the doctors do call you crazy, but I can tell you after extensive research on my own body that this is not in our heads! I had seen 4 neurologists, had MRI, MRA, CT Scan, Blood Work, originally I had two ovaries left one not operable, the other well 6 months later I had to have a Davinci robotic surgery because that ovary was sick it enlarged to the size of a grapefruit, now I am in full blown surgerical menopause, some things that have helped me, I stay away from HRT, that stuff made me sick and my tremors worse. I am now taking black cohash, apparently this is from the buttercup family but it seems to work, it can be bought over the counter. I also started taking a simple one a day vitamin for menopause it has helped me tremendously....I am not sure what happened during that surgery, but I never stop trembeling...it is aweful especially at night, but the black cohash has helped me with dry eyes, dry areas everywhere, and mood adjustments....I am not saying this will work for you, but my story is very similar. Oh yes, and my heart problems have gone away,not completely but they have subsided....all these symptoms are the change in our bodies with no hormones....if they would have told me all this stuff would possibly happen, I never would have had that hysterectomy! So girls dont do it or try to save what you have....doctors are way to eager to remove our body parts....I am only 45 and if given another opportunity I would have figured a way to work around the fibroid tumors...Good Luck!

Yesterday (12/6/2010) I had a hysteroscopy to remove two polyps. To complicate things even more, I also have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).I have never had vision problems until after my surgery. It's very difficult to focus my eyes to read. My legs ache and hurt. It feels like the pain is radiating from my abdomen to my legs. Please let me know if this normal. My follow up appointment is net Monday (12/13/2010). A few articles indicate it could be a result of the pain killers. Any advise is great appreciated.
Can you e-mail me? ***@****- I think I may have some information that can help you. I PROMISE I am NOT going to try and sell you anything... this isn't a ad e-mail invite.This exact same thing has happened with me and I am 30 and had a hysterectomy when I was 28. I am now close to finding "me" again. I just have a few suggestions that you may want to tell your Dr.

Just wish I could get the Dr's to STOP saying its all in my head cause its not. I wish I could turn back time and I would have never had the surgery done. I would have just lived with the overflowing period...I have since lost my job and everything because of the tremors, stuttering and dizzy. I just don't know what else to do...

I am 43years old.I had a complete hysterectomy on Jan 30,2006. I had to be givin blood because of anemia on the 1st of Feb. I had a reaction during the process and the transfusion was stopped during the 2nd unit. I had developed large hematomas on both sides of my abdominal incision. I released from the hospital on Feb.2,2006. I was in alot of pain and very nauseated. On Feb.3,2006 I was trying to vomit and my incision burst openand I started bleeding very heavy. My husband calledan ambulance and I was taking back to the hospital for another 2 day stay. During thistime I have to have my incision packed with gauze and bandaged at least 2x daily. I would like to know what percentage of womenwho have hysterectomys have this kind of problem and how long is the healing process.
I was on premarin then obgyn changed me to the vivelle dot. I was having the symptoms before I was put on the hormone drugs.
