Hi -- I'm sorry you are having pain. What is a lavh/bso/ Please excuse me for not knowing. Anyhow, I had a myo last August and I remember about 3 weeks later I felt some pain in my left side and then it went away. I mentioned this to my dr and he told me that it takes about a year for you to fully recover. Hopefully it won't take this long. I still feel pain here and there. I hope you feel better soon. Let us know.... Caryn
