How much pain Rx?: I'm wondering a few things. First, why did you have a hysterectomy?Did you have a posterior repair or other surgical procedures? Second did you suddenly stop taking pain meds? Is there an area that you can press on that worsens pain? Infection is a concern with new onset pain of that intensity at this point post op. Nerves can be damaged during surgery as well. Contact your surgeon right away.
