Hey Ladies,
I am having a problem and I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice. About 10 years ago I had a partial hysterectomy(uterus removed). For the last two days I have been having what feels like bad cramps, and of coarse since cramps happen when the uterus contracts (and I don't have one), what could this be? I know I have been going thru menopause for quite awhile now, so I don't know if maybe that has something to do with it. Anyone heard of this problem or experienced it before? Thanks Peggy

peg, you might have a bladder infection.
the bladder can also spasm. when they remove a uterus, it leaves a void. the bladder can shift and be in it's place. you would feel the spasm or cramp in that area. not a fun topic, but have noticed if your bladder has "fallen"? it's called bladder prolaspe. here is some info and syptoms: http://www.urologyhealth.org/adult/i...t=03&topic=590

Hi Curious,
Thanks so much for this info. If I am still feeling this way come Monday, I will contact the Dr. Looking on the internet, I see I also have all the symptoms of having a cyst on the ovary. I also have low back pain and I have some crazy weight gain in the last month. I thought it was due to the Holiday eating, but may not be. I will let you know how things go come Monday. Peggy

Peg,
I think your right to get it checked esp if it continues or gets worse- mi sis in law and niece both had ovarian cysts rupture - and they said it hurt bad!!.. It also could be something else and best to check for that too.

Ok Ladies,
Here is an update and to just remind everyone once again how our Health Care System just stinks!!!! (sorry, need to vent). My cramps have gotten worse, along with low back pain and just feeling bloated. Some days it just makes me feel plain rotten. Went today to see a doctor. She is a family practioner that is in the same building as my family doctor. She didn't do much examining, but just pushing around on my stomach and then tells me, its most likley just gas pains and told me to take a stool softner. I thought I was going to come unclued. I think she saw the distress written all over my face, so you then said....well, if it will make you feel better, we can do a pelvic untrasound. Make me feel better???? Ladies, after doing some reading about my symptoms on the internet, I discovered them to be symptoms of ovarian cysts or even early symptoms of ovarian cancer. Are doctors crazy or just plain lazy. You would think with all the law suits against doctors these days, they would not cut corners. Anyways, that is the latest. I have the ultrasound on Tuesday. Peggy
