is this the same as ditropan?. I am on Ditropan for my bladder, it blocks
the signal to the brain from the nerve that makes your bladder contract, so
I don't pee my self all the time, it seems to work to a certain degree, I
don't have to go as much.

have to know your limits, and while you may feel fine doing the gardening,
vacum etc, I find I will suffer that night with bad pain. This has always
been the case for me, even when I feel well and feel as if I could climb
mountains.
> > I am 6 weeks post op now and I have pain back where they removed my
left ovary, and also pain in my left hip which I have never experienced
before, but I refuse to stop doing the things that I enjoy e.g. gardening as
I want to feel as if I have some kind of normality in my life.
> > Has anyone experienced pain in their hips after surgery? or had
adhesions causing pain in their hips?, I normaly only get pain in my lower
pelvic area, and lower back but this hip pain has been around now for 2
weeks, and is quite painful when I stand up or stay seated for anything
longer than 1/2 hour.
