Barbszy,
It's not quite the same, but since I had my hysterectomy two years ago I am not hurting at ALL anymore. I do not miss Ms. Mabel one single bit.
I was in pain every single month (from misdiagnosed endometriosis) for way, way, too many years.
I was in bed every month a minimum of one day, sometimes 2 with cramps and the backache and headache lasted all week.
I can plan activities now without having to look at my calendar. THAT is a blessing!
Whatever your doctor decides to do, I pray your pain will be gone, too.
Love ya, train
