    Hi Pamela, I'm sorry to hear this. I'll have a laparotomy in 20 days to have my ovary and tube removed and I'm concerned about the pain of incision. From what I've read online, it's definitely normal to still feel pain by week 6, but the pain should have subsided week by week. Is that the case for you? If not you should definitely see your GP to make sure that your incision is not infected. I wish you all the best.

      Thanks for your reply, it's not pain, just tender, all wounds have healed, maybe I've done too much too soon, I'm sure it's not infected, just presumed I'd be feeling back to normal sooner I guess!  Just read that so many people are back to work in under 3 weeks with no problems, which got me thinking...!

    Hello dear,

    Sorry to hear you are hurting, I just recently was diagnosed with having ovarian cyst on my right ovary, so I'm new to this but it sounds to me like you might have an infection if it's still that bad, I've had 3 surgeries on the past 2 years so I know a thing or 2 about what you are going throughsad hope you get better and I would schedule an appointment with your GP soon as you can (better safe then sorry)
