Hi! I just had a abdominal hysterectomy 2 1/2 weeks ago... I am having serious body aches, nausea, insomnia for the past three days... 800 mg Ibprophen dosent help, so I took 2 hydrocodine.. (dose 1 to 2 of 5/500mg.) noticed today that I am dizzy when standing, I havent eaten much in two days.... hot..cold flashes... is this normal?
HI. Thanks for an elucidated history. Ideally 2 and half weeks after the abdominal hysterectomy you should be fine and normal. The probable cause of body-ache, nausea can be a mid persistent infection, or the healing process is still going on. Anxiety of some sort can add to the problem. Since Ibuprofen 88 is not helping, I thought of anxiety. The dizziness can be due to the disease process or due to you not eating much in 2 days added on with by the 2 tables of HY Chat Doctor.  I would advise you to undergo all the relevant blood tests to see for infection, urine and stool tests, ultrasonography to see for any collection or signs of infection in the kidneys / pelvis. Start on the antibiotic course, get a bed rest, good follow-up with your Doctor till you are cleared.
