Hi Saffy,
I recommend going to the following site:
http://www.hystersisters.com
They are a terrific resource for information and support on issues like you're experiencing.
I did have a complete hysterectomy 2 years ago, which helped control my level of pain significantly. I do still have my ovaries, but they took my cervix and uterus. It seems as though there are always some complications, and I was no exception. My uterus was strongly attached to my bladder. Part of my bladder had to be removed, which meant a catheter for a couple of weeks. No fun, but it could have been worse!
Best wishes to you, Take care!
