So I am almost a week post ovaries removed and am having a lot of pain in my right hip and leg...

Since I was younger my periods were always the worst, as were my sisters, my sister was diagnosed with pcos and endometriosis. Eventually I too was diagnosed with both of those. After having my son and getting close to age 30 I decided I can't take the painful periods, so at first my ob did my tubes, but that didn't help so I started lupron depo to enduce menopause... and for the 1st time I didn't have pain it was wonderful! After 6 months on that he decided a partial hysterectomy was for the best...then covid hit...so eventually they were able to do my surgery may of 2020. He said he removed all the endometriosis and left both ovaries...I was so happy it was over...fast forward to September 2022 pain on my right side started doctors kept saying I had kidney stones and infections, I had a CT scan saw a kidney doctor he told me that isn't causing my pain, I was so frustrated finally may 2023 after months of doctors not listening saying it was nothing, I had an ultrasound..they found not 1 but 2 masses inside my left ovary...I was sent to see an ob cancer doctor, we talked for hours at my appointment he said when I was on the lupron and had no pain it should have been determined to do a full not just a partial. He also said he didn't believe it to be cancer but my endometriosis...so only july 14 2023 he removed both ovaries and it was infact my endometriosis...

they made 5 cuts on my stomach and my right hip and back and leg have been killing me...is this normal or should I be worried?

I don't know, but I am sending hugs and sympathy! (and this post should keep your original post in the Daily for tomorrow, too, for more people to see.)

Call the surgeon? or your primary doctor? or your health insurance nurse line? Maybe all of them? It doesn't sound right to me, but I don't have experience with it.

You shouldn't have to suffer, especially not with new symptoms.
