Still experiencing pain 6 weeks after hysterectomy

Hi all

I wonder if someone can give me some advice please.

I had a complete laparascopic hysterectomy 6 weeks ago. I had started to feel better but i think i have maybe over done it.

I had alot of pain pre surgery and ended up going into hospital a week before my surgery.

I now have alot of pain around my tummy and my back. I have pain on bending and generally uncomfortable. Is this normal 6 weeks after surgery. I am concerned how much longer I should be off work, as my job involves me standing all day.

Many thanks

    Hello eve

    I had tvh in January and there was no way i couldgo back to work at 6 weeks.

    Even though i had no.pain or any issues i know how libg it takes for internal healing.

    It takes 12 wks for scar tisdue to form. Any earlier and your putying too much pressure on your pelvic floor if your standing all day.
