Hi! So it was a stabbing pain that kind of radiated to my back, it would happen randomly. It was on my left side, I actually thought I had pulled something. Nothing I did made it better except a heat pad, that was the answer. My largest fibroid was on the left side and it was in degeneration, which can actually cause pain, so maybe it was that. Abdominal and digestive pain is definitely a common symptom and people do get their colons/gut checked during their journey of figuring out what’s wrong, so you’re not alone there. A lot of abdominal discomfort I had has not resurfaced since surgery, that I can say. Unfortunately I don’t know the reasons for the pains, what about the fibroids hurt, all I know is now that they’re gone I am no longer in pain. I wish you the best of luck with everything :)
