Hi! It took 4 to 5 months to get rid of the pain after I had my ovaries out. I thought I was a hopeless case and the doctor told me nothing. My theory is that I was in so much pain for so long that my body and nerves "remembered" the pain and it took awhile for it to subside. I have learned that just because the doctors tell you that you can go back to work that it does not mean you are done healing. Take it easy on yourself both mentally and physically for as long as you can. Hang in there, jessica
