I am 6 weeks post op and here is my story. I’ve had severe pains (the severe ones were always on my right side) and had many, many visits to the ER over the last 15 years for what looked like appendicitis. I’ve had way too many Cat scans. I was diagnosed with fibromagylia when my doctor could find no cause for my pain. I’ve had 2 colonoscopies, an endoscopy and many other tests and procedures. I had my gallbladder removed. I was diagnosed with IBS when a gastro specialist couldn’t find anything “wrong” with me. I’ve had many bouts...
My uterus weighed 238 grams when it was removed. My symptoms included tingling and burning in my hands and feet. I also had high blood pressure. 140s/80s &90s. All of that went away, and I lost 10 lbs of fluid in 2 days post-op. I’ve lost another 10 lbs with no effort. Pathology showed Adenomyosis only. My doctor told me last week that my uterus was likely compressing my aorta and the main nerves that run through the abdomen. So…Adeno can contribute to high blood pressure. This is a pretty big deal in my opinion. I also had a pulmonary embolism...
I underwent a myomectomy to remove some of my adenomyosis and also fibroids in 2014, following which I took six injections of Zoladex. This was in preparation for IVF treatment, which I completed in October 2015 and am currently pregnant. My adenomyosis symptoms include very heavy and painful periods, which has led to a constant battle with anaemia. On Zoladex I suffered hot flushes every 20-30 mins which were unpleasant but overall preferable to the symptoms of adenomyosis.
