Twinges 8 weeks after removal of my ovary

I am 52 years old and I had my ovary removed at the beginning of June due to a cyst inside my ovary. I have seen my Specialist today who informed me that my ovary had twisted and had cut off the blood supply to my ovary and that in fact my ovary had died. My Ovary had stuck to bowel. I Felt fine for 6 weeks after op but now started with twinges just under my skin in the area where they took my ovary from. I dont feel comfortable lying on my stomach either. I also have not had a period since March. Is anyone getting these types of twinges of pain 8 weeks after laparoscopy?

Hi, I went back to work 2 weeks after surgery as I felt ok and have felt fine up until the last week and a half - thats what I feel is rather strange.  I will see how I get on in the next few weeks.  I am going on holiday in three weeks so will get plenty of rest. Thanks for your post.

Have you done any housework lately or other physical activity? Even if a day ago?  Sometimes we get immediate or delayed physical reactions to our attempts to return to normal living and working. It could be internal sutures dissolving or other healing processes at work, too.  I slept on my back for 4 weeks after surgery. No other position was comfortable.  Tummy was tender even longer...2 months?....3 months?  It seems to take much longer to feel like surgery never happened than what anyone in the doctor's office would have you believe.
