New answers for my pain...
| Sun, 08-10-2008 - 9:22pm |
As most of you know...I have been having terrible abdominal pains past 3 weeks... had X-rays and external and internal Ultrasound the other day. The pain got no better after my cleansing.... was really hoping that was all it was, but no. My pain has gotten so bad over the weekend I could barely walk, but I finally got some answers when the doctor called me while I was on our trip .... I need surgery for a tennis sized fibroid tumor on my uterus....fun! At least I know what is causing this pain. I will be asking for a complete hysterectomy!! Will know more tomorrow....

well, at least you have an answer!
I wouldn't get a hysterectomy unless the dr recommended it
but if you do..try to get a "laprascopic hysterectomy"
that's what I had, much easier to recover from! so much less invasive
good luck
