Hello. : Hello. I don't know when you had your hysterectomy. If it has been quite a while, you may have abdominal adhesions which can be problematic. Additonally, scars are chronic niduses of inflammation. Hysterectomy and C-section scars often can lead to back pain. Medical accupunture scar deactivation (with or without electrical stimulation) and scar injection with saline/lidocaine/ homeopathic medication can be of great help with both the scar and underlying adhesions. With a surgeon's concurrence, periheral treatments can often begin within weeks of surgery.
