I've not had a hysterectomy, but am recuperating from an umbilical hernia repair and I felt the same way you do up until about a week ago...and it's been almost two months for me.

I thought I'd hurt myself because I felt the same way just like a day or so after surgery, but I shouldn't have at 3 weeks post op. My surgeon checked me out and said everything was fine and that I shouldn't have been lifting my groceries from the car to the house so soon. (I think that's what did it)

So I let people help me and didn't even vacuum for weeks and now I feel pretty much normal, but like I said, it's been almost two months now. Mine being a small little hernia repair is probably nothing compared to your hysterectomy, but if I felt the sort of symptoms you're having, it's no wonder you feel the way you do.

I can only recommend is to let others help you out when you can...I know, it's hard watching someone do something for you that you would do differently, but it's for your own best interest. I am not a good patient. I'm always the one taking care of everyone else, so it was difficult. Get out and walk everyday, that will give you some sense of being active even if the things you are used to doing are put on hold for awhile.
