Hi all, 

I had a myomectomy on 15th April and signed off work for 10 weeks.  I'm now fully back to work but still experiencing some pains in my tummy.  I know that one fibroid was left behind (I had 14, largest measuring 10cms) because it was small and in an awkward place and just wondering if anyone in a similar situation still gets pains? My pains are generally in the ovary area, each side taking it in turns to hurt. Last couple of days it's been my left ovary area and now Im making frequent trips to bathroom to pass not that much urine and also have strong back pain just above lower back sad

Feel like almost my fibroids could have come back with these pains i'm having.  Can they come back so soon? Or perhaps it's just my insides are still sore and healing. Is it normal to feel all this after this length of time?

    Dear MissBurbs,

    I had a myomectomy on March 3rd (7 fibroids) and yes I still have pain.(frequent urination)  However, mine is in the lower stomach above each thigh.  I will have to go back to my doctor where another procedure will be performed to clean the uterus out.(scar tissue/other)  MissBurbs you might need to make another appointment with your doctor. (my doctor had me come back monthly from March to June)    I wish you the best of luck and to put your mind at ease you should make a follow-up appointment.

    Dear MissBurbs,

    I hope everything went well with you appointment.  I keep wearing the support they gave me and I hope with time the pain will disappear.  Overall, I feel much better than before, just working hard to get back in shape.
