Has anybody had problems after a hysterectomy that was supposed to be complete and it wasn't?

10 years ago i had really bad endometriosis, fibroid tumors etc. i had already had two children 1 boy and 1 girl so when i had the surgery to find out what was wrong we decided if it was really bad we would have a complete hysterectomy. 2 years later i had pain on my left side and had, they had to go back in because the surgeon left a ligament from my uterous in there and it attached to my bowel and kinked up. I had that repaired. Now for 2 years i have been having pain on my left side and went through all kinds of tests only to be told it has to be IBS. I had really bad pain last week went to the ER and they did a CT scan of my whole belly. Well apparently i have an ovarian cyst on a partial ovary that was left in there. My current dr. is freaking out and i have to have surgery to have this fixed. My current dr. suggest i get a lawyer because this shouldn't have happened and as i said i've been through hell for 2 years trying to figure out what is wrong? has this happened 2U

I was in a similar situation - though my hysterectomy wasnt intended to be complete initially. I had it for the same reasons that you did - severe endometriosis etc. I also had "ovarian regeneration syndrome" - left ovary tried to come back! And in the process, it grew a cantalope sized tumor & other stuff. Had to have emergency surgery too. I also have severe adhesions due to abdominal surgeries and recurring endometriosis (even though my hyst was 16 years ago). It will ALWAYS come back - 6-10 years is average for a Doc to have to go back in & remove the adhesions. So... it IS possible that you are having recurring disease process. It is a very distressing, painful ordeal.
As far as seeing legal counsel - it wont hurt! I have found though that it is VERY hard to get one Dr. to "turn" on another & testify that the sole reason you are having issues is due to another Doc's error.
Definitely get a GOOD doc who will take good care of you & clean up the adhesions etc - and just stay in tune with your body. Check into legal counsel - look for someone who specializes in Medical Malpractice.
Good luck!!!

I can only imagine. I feel for you. I would get a lawyer and talk about it with him aswell to see what action can be taken, besides the pain, frustration and worry of not knowing what is wrong with you your medical bills are propably a real burdon. If anything I would want the medical bills taken care of.
