Re: Back pain questions

[Guest guest]

e,

I had similar pains but around week 8. All of the sudden my lower back and

hips began hurting. I don't think you are too far off thinking maybe the

weakened ab muscles could be straining to support your upper body. This pain

did

pass and I have not had it since. Also, I was told by the RE's nurse when I

called after she consulted with him about my complaints that the internal

healing

sometimes takes longer in certain people. I continued to take it easy and

not do too much up to 10 weeks. I just became very aware of how I moved and how

much I lifted.

As far as the stitch (little tail) I had that too on the right side. I was

worried about it and asked if it should be removed. I was told to just leave

it alone and eventually it did disappear. I don't think you should worry to

much about it unless it appears to be red, itchy or oozing.

I am sorry I don't know anything about uterine suspension. I read my

surgical report and it also mentioned that at the end the uterus was suspended.

Maybe this is just a certain technique the surgeon uses??? If you know what it

means, please explain it to me if you can. It sounds like you might know more

about that part.

Good luck on your continued recovery. I am so happy for you and the fact

that you have stopped bleeding! Yea!

Hi Ladies

I had a uterine suspension during a lap last June. This is where

the uterus is tilted so they consatina fold the round ligament over

it and put in a stitch to hold your uterus up.

Some doctors actually cut the round ligament and then shorten it to

the required length, but I have been told that this an outdated

procedure.

Hope this helps
