I had an adominal hysterectomy on 1st October 2014 which is roughly 6 weeks post op. I feel I have recovered quite well despite me losing a litre and a half of blood in theatre and needing a transfusion. I have been taking it easy at home as I don't want any more problems, my staples have already split and part of my wound was open, but that has healed now. I am getting all the menopausal symptoms of hot flushes and night sweats, but I am also getting pains in my breasts and aches and pains in my joints, mainly hips and knees. Has anyone else experienced this?

    hello! seems like thanks an old thread but would like to know if breast pain is normal after hysterectomy. i have a shooting pain in my left breast that radiates yo my shoulder blade. but I have to mention that I'm also nursing my 4 month old baby. I'm worried this pain could be something more serious. If anyone sees this and Has experienced the same symptoms , kindly let me know if it's an expected after op pain or if I should see my obgyn .
