Pain after abdominal hyst.

43 yrs old and just had an abdominal hyst(uterus removed ONLY) felt fine for about 4 days after surgery, which was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Now I've had pain about an inch below my incision site, which burns, stings and pulls. The pain is unbearable. Saw my doc, had catscan, blood work, and urinalysis, all show no signs of infection and everything is normal. but pain persists, only feels better when cold pack nums area. Unable to take pain killers due to nausea and fainting. Doc advises will send me in three days to pain clinic. Do other women expierence? Will I always have pain? Any other methods to deal with this?

It could be your stitches on the inside that you are feeling pinch and sting.  You can't take tylenol?

I have had a couple abdominal surgeries for various reasons and I too have had that problem. My pain has eventually gone away but I do still have some numbness. I used a heating pack and that seemed to help. I was told it was due to the skin healing and stretching. If you are going through the same thing unfortunately pain medicine really does not help anyway. I hope that you get well soon.
