Hi, I'm just over 7 weeks abdominal hysterectomy, I'm pretty much up to normal activity during the day ( no heavy liftingor hoovering yet), however about 6pm im about knackered and start to experience general discomfort, bit of swelling and occasional internal vaginal pain....I have others at this stage experienced simiilar symptons?

    Hi,

    I am  around 16 weeks TAH, and yes, I remember the end of day fatigue, and 'Sweely belly', all a normal part of the healing after major surgery, it does get better! I got the internal pain to, but thats where my cervix used to be. Its where you muscles and internals are moving around during the day,..Read Hyster Systers website, really helpful info..Best wishes

    Yes, I am finding this too! Some days am trying to do bit more and some days I have overdone it., I still get tired in day and some days have still had to have a snooze. Not got huge pains but do get discomfort at end of day and stomach aches across scar site. Just have to think how everything felt a few weeks ago!
