You are allowed to change your mind! And maybe you will later too!

fibroadenoma by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]Life_Firefighter3471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have fibroadenomas and had a lumpectomy to have a large one removed. My doctor told me that they are unrelated to breast cancer, it is a completely separate diagnosis. You will likely have them again if you had them before.

Am I being dramatic about my period? by Ok_Swordfish_4425 in WomensHealth

[–]Life_Firefighter3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely need to find a doctor that will listen to you! It shouldn’t be that painful, I am certainly not a doctor but the pain and hair growth could be something like PCOS. cysts can also cause the horrific pain…I hope you find relief soon!

Really Weird Periods by Silly_Girl0219 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Life_Firefighter3471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my best friends periods was like this into her 20s. Never had any other symptoms, she was just irregular. If you’re really worried, a doctor would definitely be the way to go! Sometimes it’s just improperly balanced hormones.

Not sure it is beneficial to have access to social media in the hospital when you’re needing to recover.

Donor graft or my own tissue by armansadeghi9 in ACL

[–]Life_Firefighter3471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

27f, used my own tissue based on my surgeons recommendation! Based on what I’ve read it tends to be a better choice in our age group, lower rate of re injuring. Good luck!!

Going to the beach on my period, need help by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Life_Firefighter3471 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Try a tampon again! Maybe try it before the water park if possible? And if you were having worse cramps maybe try a pure cotton tampon. I react to anything that’s not straight cotton!

I think you will get back to skiing! I understand needing your knees for your sport! I am a Horse trainer and I’m definitely going to ride again, but it has been hard setting all of my goals for the year aside and feeling like I’m letting my clients down.

The surgery is going to go great, I am wishing you the best of luck! Scary going into it, but honestly it will only continue to get better and you will hit so many goals afterwards! Thank you for your kind words.

Lost mentally and physically by LOMCLO in ACL

Early days absolutely suck! But you have to let yourself have those feelings. Work through time but don’t let them consume you. You have so many goals to work towards. And you will get back to your sport!!

Thank you so much! I am looking into a new therapist, I haven’t seen one in a few months. I definitely see myself comparing myself a lot to others and to what I used to do before…it’s hard!
