I had a laporoscopic assisted hysterectoy on Monday July 8/13. The ovaries remain. The uterus had one fibroid, endometriosis at the front of the uterus, both inside and outside the uterus wall. The uterus had adhesions, but I dont know what it was adhered to. the one fibroid was completely embedded in adhesions. Each ovary had one cyst removed.
Since surgery, i have had extreme lower back pain. If I stay still laying down or walk, the pain reduces. However when I stand still, the pain become excrutiating across my lower back. Yesterday morning, there was an addition of numbness inmy left leg. It was not pain and i could bear all my weight. The dr ruled out leg blood clot, abdominal bleeding post op. A urine test = no infection. Hemoglobin was 114. I am 48 years old, 5'8" & 175 pounds. He gave me Toradol IM and a precription for oral toradol every 6 hours - which help with overall pain, but theain when standing still remains the same.
I have never had back pain prior to surgery.
Question. What is this caused from and would physio therapy help?
Any other comments would be appreciated
Thankyou
