Problems After Hysterectomy: Abdominal Pain & Cramps

I had a full hysterectomy Dec 2015 due to endo, heavy periods, and adenomyosis. A year and a half later, I had to have my left ovary removed due to cysts. But over the past few years, I get random pain. It is ad if something is ripping inside of me. The pain is typically above my c-section scar, but pretty far down from my belly button. When I get this pain, I get bloated to where I have to unbutton and unzip my jeans. And sitting doesn't help, I have to be laying on my back. This typically happens when I am in a car for longer than an hour. Also, I have noticed, this happens if I wear mid or high waisted jeans. I can only wear low jeans without pain and bloating. I am only 30 years old, and I don't want to live the rest of my life with this pain. Does anyone else experience pain and bloating like this?

I am starting to wonder if the 4 abdominal surgeries I have had, have separated my abdominal muscles? I had a botched c-section 2010, a lap 2011, full hysterectomy 2015, left ovary removal 2017. Or maybe all of my organs just hate me. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Thank you, Casey

It sounds like you have been through a lot physically. I too am interested if you have seen a provider for these symptoms? I tend to think that you have. If this is so and you have not received a resolution, have you considered going to a specialty hospital?
