Will total hysterectomy lead to severe pain in the legs?
Patient: If you can answer my health problem you should receive a Nobel Prize. I had a total hysterectomy approx. 10 years ago. I am now 54 years old and have had every diagnosis you can think of. Initially, my feet felt like I was walking on rocks - sent to arthritis specialist. Meds they offered were useless - including Embrel injections. I have had gallons of blood taken which has resulted in nothing. Nerve conduction tests - again nothing. Next a neurologist who came up with nothing but the suggesiton of anti-depressants. The pain is pins and needles non-stop. Wakens me multiple times at night, has kept me all but bed ridden. The pain of walking is not worth it therefore I have lost the enjoyment of my 3 teenagers as I don t do much if anything with them anymore. My husband and I have not had relations in years. Had I known this could be the result I NEVER would have done it - it is almost worse than being dead as there is nothing I can do or take that I know of to stop the 24 hour pain every day. What do you think the problem is? Desperate for help. Doctor: I vascular surgeon to test the circlation in your legs might give some answer. Also check for diabetes. Diabetes can cause neuropathy for leg pains. I do not think Hystrectomy has any relation with this problem.  i do not know if ovaries were removed with hystrectomy or not . FSH level might help in determining the menopausal and the ovarian function.
