@slodick - I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing all this pain... I can relate with the frustrations you are going through, however my pain isn't as complex as what you are dealing with. For my issues I have started seeing an acupuncturist/Chinese medicine practitioner - more for the acupuncture.
** I originally had a partial hysterectomy (2015) and my ovaries were left intact. The surgery went well overall and I recovered. Then in 2018, I discovered I had fibroids grow back and a large cyst formed on my right ovary... again I went back into surgery to have my right ovary removed. This surgery and recovery was fine too. However about a year after all this surgery I started having chronic lower back pain, along with 'straining and pulling' in my abdomen area. It was debilitating at times. The tightness in my back also caused a 'strain' down my left leg. I tried to stretch it out, but it didn't help. Physiotherapy on my lower back only helped a little, the pain was still there. It didn't help that I sit a lot for work either. I figured the pains were all connected to the surgeries. After just 1 acupuncture session, I have already noticed a difference. My practitioner released the tightness down my left leg and explained how the pain was connected to my kidney issues (which I knew I had - I can go on about this..) Anyway, maybe give acupuncture a try to do a myofascial release, it may help with your other internal pain issues as well (gallbladder & spleen). In Chinese medicine, certain pains can come about and can be connected with organs in our body. All the best.
I've been told by physicians they think I have Uterine Cancer and can't find a GYN ONCOLOGIST.
We're you happy with your surgeon?
And if so, could I get their name?
I'm willing to travel anywhere to get help!!!
