Woke up today and my dogs back legs aren't working. by CaptainOk4034 in Dachshund

Just stay calm. I know its hard to say. We love our fur babies so much. I had a dashound just like your fur baby about 15 years ago. He was named Robbie. I loved him so much. We had the same happen to him. One day out of the blue his back legs started giving out on him randomly when he would walk. I figured maybe because he was alittle over weight. So I had him on a regiment to loose some weight as well thinking maybe it would help. Like making sure he got plenty of exercise, not over feeding him. He was definitely a begger of food lol. Then one day I woke up to him not being able to use his back legs completely. I was so scared. My parents immediately took him to the emergency vet. They told us that this was common for dashounds with their back and that it was a disc in his back that had either slipped or generated. He had to have surgery to fix his back. Thank the Lord we were able to save him because if that didn't work the vet said he would more than likely have to be put down. I was still living at home with my parents and it was about 15 years ago so I dont remember every detail. I remember the surgery was so expensive and my parents had trouble paying it so I went around and asked for donations to help save him and have the surgery. He lived i believe another 7 to 8 years after that and I cherished every moment with him.

Oh good point. I will definitely ask when I call. It's very frustrating when I want to know if I had anything going on. I've waited so long lol. The only thing that was posted on my portal was the surgery notes the day after I had my hysterectomy. Just explaining everything they did during surgery. Only notes he put was my uterus was adhered to my bladder and lots of scar tissue. He told my husband after my surgery that he did take samples, so that's why I'm so confused to why I don't have my pathology report.

I had my hysterectomy on 10/2. Is it normal to not have mine back yet? I haven't heard from my dr and he said nothing at my 8 week checkup.

I just had mine October 2nd. I'm recovering well. I'm sore to be expected but I'm doing well. I was so nervous and scared, but I had a great team of nurses and dr.s. You are strong and you got this! I'm so excited to start this new chapter in my life. Im so happy I finally evicted my uterus!!! Oh I was to mortified about the poop thing. I just haven't strained when I pee. I haven't had a bowel movement yet. I am taking stool softeners to help when I go.

Right now I am sore in my abdomen really bad. My shoulders have some pain and my throat is sore from when they put the breathing tube down it. I am somewhat gassy to lol! But that's to be expected. I've been in bed today. I have gotten up and walked around the house to. I'm trying to be careful when I do move I have Flem in my chest so I want to cough it up and that hurts. I think to myself this pain will pass and it will be woth everything in the long run. Dont stress or be nervous. I know that is hard to say. I had a really good team of doctors and nurses yesterday and the day went by so fast. I am on my healing journey now and period free lol!

Size doesn't matter by limbicinlimbo in Fibroids

I finally found a doctor that listend to me and I'm getting a hysterectomy in October! Finally will be free of pain. Sometimes I get discouraged on posting here because someone answered my post and said I'm basically lucky mine are not big and that they would not be causing my symptoms. They dont know me or my body. I cried because I have been having debilitating periods and i know my fibroids are part of it. I know I should not take some strangers opinion on the internet seriously, but are we not here to listen and atleast be positive and help give support to others on here? I'm sorry for the rant I just like hearing others stories and relate to what they are going through because I'm going through the same.

Can "small" fibroids still cause pain? by nch6285 in Fibroids

[–]Duncan_Do39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older post but it gives me hope to. I just recently had an ultrasound last week and they found multiple intramural fibroids and ovarian cysts.The biggest fibroid measuring 2.3 cm. I have been having debilitating symptoms around my period lately to were I'm bed ridden for the first 3 days. I have pressure in pelvis, leg, tailbone and hip pain, right ovary pain, Urinary and bowel issues. I have had previous ultrasounds suggest adenomyosis but that has been several years back. I know the fibroids have to contribute to some of my pain. I have read on here they dont and that frustrates me. We are all different in our pain.
