Tingly pelvic hip pain -10dpo

10dpo/46yo. I've used this generic picture to add little gold stars to where I've had dull achy pain for the past few days. Then today that turned into itchy, tingly, dull, achy pain. I still have dull pain between the two stars along my pubic line that I can assume is from the cervix removal/vaginal cuff/bladder rebound. My uterus measured 16.5cm when removed because of the mass. I also had both fallopian tubes and left ovary removed.

I assume this is nerve regeneration related pain. Thoughts? Anyone else have this?

Had TAH/BSO on Friday due to 20cm uterine tumor

Mid40s: Found out I had this 18cm uterine tumor in early April by random ultrasound. It was 20cm by the time we had surgery two days ago. Low level LDH blood tests mid-April led us to believe benign, but we moved fast with a 5/8 surgery just to be safe. (My gyno appt last October showed no signs of this mass existing either.) Will see what happens with pathology tests.

They found surprise edno on my right ovary so was glad our plan was to remove everything while surgeon was in there. So did TAH+BSO as proactively planned.

Surgery took a little over 1 hour on the table. When I woke up, it felt like someone had punched me as hard as they could in my pubic bone. I fought anesthesia because of this pain. It has to be the size of this tumor & my uterus that caused me unique intense pain. I wasn't released to go home for about 8 hours after surgery due to my pain. Almost elected to stay overnight but the Oxy 10mg finally started to take the edge off so I wanted to get home to my own adjustable bed to recover.

I always prided myself on a high pain tolerance but man, this tumor and organ removal knocked me on my butt more than I expected.

I wouldn't change my mind and would still have surgery despite pain since I'm 2dpo and know it's getting better every day and what being free of all of this endo/tumor sickness means to me.
