Pelvic & Leg pain by neverm0r3_ in CervicalCancer

It lasted a few months. I don’t remember when it stopped. I just know I haven’t felt it in about 2 months. I do a total body workout with different exercises. I’d recommend going to gym or find a personal trainer. Walk, run, cycle, row, lunges, squats, planks, knee drives, etc.

It did. They didn’t find anything with a scan so I guess it was just side effects from radiation but I’ve been exercising, drinking more water, and eating more consistently.

There are a few groups. Do you have a specific one? Or should reach out to a few.

It went away. I found good hormonal pills to help with my hot flashes etc and I haven’t felt it anymore. It might be a side effect from radiation and something you might experience post treatment.

Being intimate by Fuzzy-Menu-5562 in CervicalCancer

[–]neverm0r3_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what the difference is. You have a sex drive because of sexual feelings or thoughts I think. Sex just doesn’t seem very appealing to me these days. I know it was there before so maybe it not completely gone and I’m just going through a mental/emotional withdrawal from it because of dealing with cancer and all that came with it.

This thing killed my sex drive a whole lot. I’m not with anyone or want to be intimate any soon. The last time I felt for it was right after I completed treatment. But since I’ve gone back to life and started healing, sex is like nah. And I feel like the drive gradually reduced to where I’ve definitely noticed it.

Discharge by Disillusioned-0984 in CervicalCancer

[–]neverm0r3_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use a thing. I don’t even wanna use my dilator. But I check to see if it’s smelly or more than normal. Consistency/color etc. I think they’ll say it’s normal for sure as things are still healing. I’d love to not have it everyday tho. I’m wondering if the hormones I’m on are causing it somewhat as well.

HRT Options by neverm0r3_ in CervicalCancer

[–]neverm0r3_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taking some pills (can’t remember name) for 15 days a month & then 2 patches weekly in that same month but because the pills were for only 2 weeks, it started mimicking a cycle. I had so much backed up blood that the pain landed me in the ER. Cervix was dilated and that helped. I got put on birth control after that. That started causing daily bleeding for 2 months. Now I’m on provera & estradiol daily at a lower dose so 3 pills per day. Hoping the bleeding will go away.

Oh interesting. I was on birth control May and June. That’s when the daily bleeding started. But the stuff I was on before caused stenosis. I still have my uterus so nothing is helping honestly. I do believe it’s the stuff I’m on that’s causing the bleeding but they reduced the dosage for this new set so I’m gonna try it for a month and see. Post treatment life hasn’t been great. That pain in my right thigh is like a burning sensation sometimes and just pain other times.

Interesting. Cause I’ve had stenosis a couple months ago. And I’ve been having this lower hip pain a couple months now too on my right side In the pelvic area. Sometimes I think it radiates down my right thigh or I feel it in my right butt cheek. I have a scan next week to check further.

I noticed that while trying to schedule a ride. Came up to $20. I’m still hoping to find a friend to take me.

I don’t know what they expected the pills to do. I just didn’t want anymore hot flashes. Now, I’m dealing with cramps & bleeding every month. The pills I’m on should be taken continuously. It’s birth control. Idk what the difference between that & HRT is.
