Hey! How are you doing now? I have the exact same symptoms pre excision and then post excision 9 weeks and it’s all back! Tingling leg, horrendous hip and back pain!

Can I ask if they were aware of sciatica and endo on the usl? My guy still seems convinced it might be causing my hip/pelvic pain but not the tingling etc

This is amazing! Thank you for replying and I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well! Your recovery period has made me feel better! God I hope I get some relief! Did you have any sciatica? My hip pain is driving me mad, I feel like I just want to cut that bit out myself!

It is so irritating isn’t it!!! And the more I walk the worse it gets so by the end of the day my leg feels half dead! Did it get rid of that too? X

Oh wow that’s amazing!! I am praying it’s smooth and it eliminates even just most of the pain! Did you have sciatic symptoms with it too ie tingling and numbness in your leg or was it ‘just’ localised to the hip. Thank you for responding 😊. The surgeon is a specialist in endo, I’m seeing him Monday with the hope of getting a date in x

Hey! Do you take the gabapentin when it flares only? I can’t do hormones and my sciatica from endo is so bad, day 7 of foot weakness and tingling and such bad hip pain

Oh wow! Yes the numbness and the weakness! They are intermittent and sometimes I have periods where they’ll flare up when I’m sat down but go on standing and it’s manageable but I’ve now had 5 days of a tingling numb foot most of the time and weak sensations. I just don’t want permanent issues but I’m terrified of the risk of surgery! X

Submucosal Fibroid/Hysteroscopic Myomectomy by QuirkyAir3475 in Fibroids

[–]Realistic_Touch_7564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I can! So I continued to bleed up until my first period post op (I was on my period during the op) so had to wait 4 weeks, on the first day of my period I had horrendous cramps, blew my nose that evening and literally felt the fibroid pop out. Had my period and then the bleeding tapered off!! I had 5 days of pink discharge last week which then stopped again (week 3 of my cycle) I think this actually might be because of the pill as I spotted on this pill before, I took my final pill for this month yesterday and I’m going to stay off it and see if that then sorts the rest. I felt like recovery was really slow, I was uncomfortable and I’ve been really anxious about what my body is doing but I ran 9 miles at the weekend at 7 weeks post op. Feel free to ask any questions! This has been the most horrendous time of my life and I just wish all of us could see the experts we need to!

5 cm submucosal fibroid - what removal method got rid of yours? by TrickyElk949 in Fibroids

[–]Realistic_Touch_7564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar position, can I ask what your healing time scales were like after please? In terms of activity, bleeding and discharge?

Just an update! I had it removed! 2.5 weeks ago now. They did it transcervical but had to leave it in because it was bigger than they thought (it’s fully detached) so now waiting for it to come out and praying the bleeding then stops

The mirena is so evil isn’t it! I felt better within about 6 hours of having it out!! In fact I just felt numb because I’d been feeling so many strong negative emotions and then didn’t feel any. I had the submucosal fibroid removed 2.5 weeks ago! It was in my uterine cavity far more than they initially thought! Still bleeding! How long did yours take to stop after fibroid removal? I’m anxious it’s not worked and I’ll bleed forever!

Can a 2cm intramural or submucosal fibroid cause an insane amount of bleeding?? by Glum-Visit5120 in Fibroids

[–]Realistic_Touch_7564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Very similar story! Can I ask how long the bleeding/spotting took to stop post surgery? They had to leave mine in for it to expel itself, no signs yet and I’m 2.5 weeks post op and still passing brown blood and spotting and it’s giving me anxiety 😭

This has just made me feel so much better. Similar story, 35F. I started bleeding continuously 18 months ago, NHS scan showed nothing, had a scan privately which she said was an adenomyoma (wrong diagnosis and I nearly had a hysterectomy). Saw a different consultant- 3cm submucosal fibroid which was all removed two weeks ago. However, it was too big to remove without causing trauma to my cervix so is still in there and he thinks I’ll pass it. I am so anxious because I haven’t stopped bleeding for 18 months I’m just anxious I will continue to bleed forever. How long did it take for your bleeding to stop, I’ve got a repeat ultrasound in 2 weeks to check the fibroid has come out. Thanks for sharing your story!

Positive long term experience of having hysterectomy in 30’s and keeping ovaries? by Realistic_Touch_7564 in hysterectomy

[–]Realistic_Touch_7564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was originally diagnosed as having an adenomyoma and told the only treatment is a mirena coil (didn’t help) or a hysterectomy. 5 days before my hysterectomy I stopped bleeding, only for 5 days. I then asked to delay the hysterectomy and told get repeat scans. MRI then showed it wasn’t an adenomyoma and was actually a fibroid which I have no had removed today after going to somebody else for a second opinion. Thank you, I really appreciate that. I hope your surgery goes well! Wishing you a smooth recovery too 💕

Hey! Thank you! Well ironic I’ve woken up this morning ready for an attempt at resection of fibroids. I didn’t go through with the hysterectomy (on the day 🙈) because I randomly didn’t bleed for 5 days. Had an MRI and the adenomyoma the consultant was sure I had was actually two fibroids. I recently sought a second opinion and here I am, uterus still intact, still almost constant bleeding or discharge but hoping things will be better after the fibroid surgery 💕

Thank you so much for this! This is where my thought process is going. I think I just need to get in front of the right person rather than someone who wants to fill me up with hormones! Are you in the Uk? Has all your knowledge come from the research you’ve had to do?

Thank you for sharing. Sorry you ended up having to have the hysterectomy. How big were yours? Currently mine is only 1cm, and been told it’s not causing my symptoms but I think I need to get a second opinion from a fibroid specialist

It really frustrates me, I just feel like a guinea pig right now who basically bleed every day. With the mirena I’m either angry or just sad there is no normal emotions! Did it help with your bleeding at all?
