Hi would really appreciate advice. I had laparotomy right salpingo oophrectomy as 7'' dermoid cyst attached to ovary 10 days ago & have terrible pain where my right ovary was. How long is this going to last? This is far worse than anything I had before surgery and is really getting me down. Feeling very emotional right now. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi Emma, I had a laparotomy on May 8th to remove a 22cm cyst from my right ovary. They also removed the ovary and I have the same as you still, the only way I am getting through is keeping up with my pain killers and having a hot water bottle!
Hope you are ok xx
Hi Becky, thanks for replying. Is your pain where the ovary was? Mines like a hot poker! Feeling very sorry for myself at the moment, and feel like I should be doing more. Have you done much walking about yet? Thanks Emma
That is EXACTLY how I would describe it! Hot poker-esq! Lol
i am making sure I take my painkillers and it really helps. I have 2 tramadol, 2 paracetamol and 1 Diclofenic every four hours. If I miss anything out or miss a dose it's soooo sore.
I am staying with my mother in law and only really walking to and from the garden (enjoying all this lovely weather!) not really much other than that....how about you?
