Sharp pain in the lower abdomen, Scan is normal. On pain killers. What is causing the pain?
Patient: I've had a total hysterectomy 6 weeks ago.  During week 5, I was getting severe sharp pain on the lower left part of my body  a little bit above where my leg meets the trunk.  I had a whopper of a 6 kg cyst on left ovary.I'm not sure if I've pulled a muscle or what.  My GP examined me and found nothing; she sent me for an ultra sound, which showed nothing abnormal, or any instruments left over from the surgery.  Why am I having pain?  Prescription pain killers, voltaren and Ibufeon have had no effect.  What is causing the pain?  Thank you Doctor: Dear patient,you've had a hysterectomy and had a 6kg cyst. As you said, your ultrasound was normal, and you had no relief with painkillers. So its most likely a hernia you are suffering from. Kindly, ask your GP to examine you for it. Dx. Inguinal hernia
