You are ri...I had a Hysterectomy last summer at 29. You are right, the crying is from the hormones. I cried at the drop of a hat, complete uncontrollable crying over something as minor as a scheduling issue. It was almost embarrassing. But then I remembered the same advice I'm going to give to you, which is to give yourself TIME. It took months (about 7) for me to really get over the bone-deep fatigue. I took it really easy for 2 months as far as lifting/twisting/straining etc, trying to avoid adhesions and scar tissue as much as possible because I am a super-champ at making scar tissue. <br />I also still had nagging abdominal pain after I was cleared by my surgeon, and he suggested pelvic physical therapy. I went, even though I looked it up beforehand and it sounded awkward and weird. Well, guess what, it was awkward and weird and it helped. My abdominal muscles were so out of whack after 5 surgeries and so much constant pain. I needed to retrain my abs and back to work together to support me, and the massage during the PT sessions really helped to loosen muscles that were locked in spasm and relieved a lot of my lingering pain. It helped that I had a great and very personable Physical Therapist who lessened the awkward for me. I truly would recommend looking for one in your area or asking your Dr. for a referral. <br />I wish you well and I'm so glad you have so many wonderful helpers stepping up for you.

Now trying to get on your feet too soon... you don't want to push yourself and risk scar tissue creating adhesions!!! Sleep, rest and let people look after you. I agree it is very telling that it isn't driving you insane, although I know it can drag sometimes. I hardly left my bed for over 3 months when pregnant - but you do what you have to do to get better :)<br /><br />I am so glad you have lots of support around you, that makes it all so much easier. And I am sorry to hear you are still having pains which are worrying to you, but hopefully they will ease. I am still thinking of you lots xxAmandahttp://www.thefamilypatch.comnoreply@blogger.com
