Everything would be good, except for this lousy hematoma attached to my left side. I hate it and I hate waiting to see if it will reabsorb on its own. That is what is expected. Nobody on here has had one it seems, but when I google it- it pops up for people with hysterectomies often. It is only mildly painful bit is like a small toy football in size. I guess it scares me.

If you do an all forum search for " hematoma" above you will find quite a few have had this issue.

I had one with my both of my last two surgeries.. It's annoying but it does finally go away once your body absorbs all the Fluid.. Hang in there!

I had one too and it was extremely painful for about 8-9 weeks. Sometimes it was even hard to walk, sit, bend, twist, get up..moving in general was excruciating and it would come and go and I had no clue what would trigger it, even the skin in the area was extremely sensitive, I couldn't put any clothing on that area that wasn't super loose. To me, it was stabbing and felt more like a muscle tear. CT and MRI scans were negative so the doc thought it was very deep. He pressed extremely hard on the area one day when it was very tender over and over again and that is when he said it was a hematoma. It was so sore for over a week but now, knock on wood, it seems to have gone away... THANK GOD! I'm not sure if all of his pressing on it made it break up and asorb or what but it seems to be ok right now.

Good luck, hope it clears up soon for you!

I felt the same way, I too had a hematoma, and had the same symptoms, this all does go away eventually! Just takes time, hope you feel better soon.. I thought I was the only but glad to know there's more of us out there
