Recovery after lapatomy (had ovaries removed)

I had a laparotomy with a 6 in*****ision to remove my ovaries as I had a large benign mass on the left ovary.  The surgery went well, today is 5 weeks, but I'm still having pain.  It feels muscular and I know the muscles are still healing but it seems strange that at 5 weeks I'm still having severe pain (both to the left and right of the incision) way down at the bottom of my pelvis.  I didn't have this pain right after surgery but it started at 2 weeks and the surgeon said it was normal healing but this pain has not gotten any better, sometimes is worse than it was at 2 weeks out.

Anyone have a similar experience with healing postop.  Those who've had open RNY and tummy tucks -- I'd love to hear your healing stories.  Maybe I'm just rushing things but I'm really tired of being painful and tired.

Hey Kim, been awhile, sorry to hear you're in pain. I hope things improve soon.
