[quote=Anonymous]I had a laparoscopic partial hysterectomy 9 days ago - took the uterus and tubes and left ovaries and cervix. Feel like I'm healing really well. Until this afternoon that is. And I can't decide if I overdid it yesterday or it's because my period would normally be arriving now. The area around my larger incision is tender, after being fine for a couple of days. And I have what feels like my normal period pains - cramping in pelvic region and pressure in my vagina. I understand I'll still ovulate, but just won't bleed every month since I have no uterus to shed lining. And the cramps are worse than normal. I think the main problem might be that I always had cramps worse on the left side and that is also where my bigger incision is.

I've googled all around, searched hyster sisters, etc... If you had a hysterectomy, did you still get PMS symptoms when you would normally be getting your period?

I don't want to break down and take a Percocet because it gives me a headache. I've taken my prescription ibuprofen, but it's doing nothing for me.[/quote]
