Hi,

I'm 43yrs old and had a total hysterectomy (laparoscopic) January 2020. Since then I have had two awful infections and delivered a blood clot weighing 4lbs. My bowels are almost retired and I have since 1 week post op explained to my gp and consultant that my hips and ribs were constantly aching almost like I had been beaten. Now almost 5 months later I have become almost immobile with hip, leg, knee, ankle and foot pain, when I put my feet on the ground I feel like my pelvis is about to split, soles of feet are excruciating and my strength is gone. This pain is just as bad when resting, I haven't had more than 2.5hours sleep per night, at this stage I am unable to excercise, drive, sleep. My gp has said nerve damage and given me amitriptyline which is leaving me drowsy and incoherent. Can anyone relate to this or give me some advice. Ty
