Hi! I am 36 and have been reading all the posts but have yet to respond. I
had a total abdominal hyterectomy 8 months ago and am in more pain than I
was before. I have lost count of how many surgeries I have had but almost 1
every year. Anyway about ten years ago I was on lupron depot, this was to
trick my body into menopause to ease pain. Did not work. And as I said
since the hysterectomy I have gone through menopause and I am still in
considerable pain. I just went to my first appointment at a pain management
center. More pills!!! Remember that naural menopuase is still a long way
away for you and you don't want to suffer for that many years before you
take some action. I would try the lupron depot, it may work for you. This
will tell you if menopause is going to help. Also some insurance companies
require that you try this before they will move on to the next possible
course. Good luck.
