I have a friend who has fibroids and has decided to have a hysterectomy [View all]

instead of having less invasive procedures like embolization or oblation because she's been told that hysterectomies aren't that painful. I have tried to tell her how painful they are as I had to have one last year but she seems to thing that I am the aberration. If you have had one or know someone who has, can you attest to how painful and how long the recovery was....I would appreciate it.

I posted this in General discussion and decided to ask here.
