Brief Answer:
post hysterectomy pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
For abdominal hysterectomy its normal to have pain up to 2 months. If your pain is not being relieved with pain meds you may want to attend a gynecologist who may examine you and do an U/s to see if there is any problem that has developed. But hopefully it will resolve on its own.
Thankyou
