It has been 2 years since your original e-mail and I was amazed to find someone else with similar circumstances.
I too have had a hysterectomy(1 1/2 yrs. ago) and have had very similar pain. My doctor is now recommending a colonoscopy. Has your pain subsided? Did you have any further tests. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
