Is Severe Lower Back Ache Related To Hysterectomy?
Hello, I have an 11cm fibroid and am awaiting a hysterectomy. I have severe lower back ache on the right side and wondered if this was linked and is there anything I can do to ease it. No tablets seem to help. I also get a shooting pain in my pelvis and down my leg. Thanks, Sash.

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that this pain might be pressing of sciatica nerve. During hystrectomy , doctor gives spinal anesthesia, which some time causes puncture of nerve.
So go for CT or MRI of lumbo sacral vertebrae and diagnose the cause and also take Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 blood test.
treatment is to take nerve strengthening capsule, take physiotherapy massage and do leg exercise .
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
