I had a hysterectomy by doctor Carrese many years ago. During post op, I began to suffer severe nerve pain to the point of being bedridden. He told me the pain was all in my head and to see a psychiatrist. Luckily, a friend my husband played golf with knew an administrator at Yale who referred me to his best surgeon. I had endometriosis which caused nerve issues and pain after my initial surgery but there was no mention of it in my surgical reports. I ended up with 3 more surgeries at Yale for pain mapping. I also had an ovary removed that should have been removed in the first place. The Yale doc's explained that if Dr.Carrese performed a full hysterectomy in the first place, the endometriosis wouldn't have come back to cause issues with my post surgical healing. Since then my life has changed. The Yale doc's couldn't get rid of all the pain so I was referred to pain management and have been a pain patient for the past two decades. ( At least my Yale doc's didn't tell me that my post op pain wasn't all in my head, they were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional.
