im looking for advice, i had a lap total hysterectomy last thursday (left ovaries) im still in pain and feel sick and unwell.

im aware to see gp for fever incase of infection but i have no fever. i keep getting hot flushes, but my temp is “normal”

is this normal to feel unwell and still in pain days after the surgery?

i feel sick, im unsteady on my feet when trying to walk and lightheaded. if i ring my gp im mostly likely to be told " this is normal" but is it??

please help?

Hi Paula, i would ring your gp tomorrow and make an apt as this doesnt sound normal. I had the same op last April and ended up in an ambulance as i thought i had no temp until the paramedics took it amd said you need to throw away your thermomitor as you have a very high temp!! infection and antibiotics in hospital for quiet a long time. but i did have lots pain and complications. hope you get sorted but get it checked out.

Hi Paula,
I’d definitely contact your GP. I think it’s normal to have some pain still as you’re only a few days after major surgery, but I don’t think you should feel so unwell with it.
Take care and let us know how you get on .

hi Paula
no this isnt quite right hun. I had slight cramping but nothing else. I’m sure it will be fine.
