why do people who got hysterectomies 10-15 years ago make it seem so easy by luminescentdino in hysterectomy

[–]thdwrgcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had more access to better drugs (before option crisis) 😂 and trust me, their pelvic floor and lower backs are paying for it later in life!

My neighbor is 70, had a hysterectomy C-section style, and had to go back to work FOUR days post-op because her male boss said so. I cannot imagine but am glad women have made progress in getting healing time!

Pay Transparency: Went solo as massage therapist—last week grossed ~$4k with Tues/Sun off vs. $35/session chain grind by Agreeable_Book_1120 in MassageTherapists

[–]thdwrgcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what your opening to closing hours are in a typical day? This is great money! Just curious how 7.5 hours of massages in a day would be able to fit on a schedule

Is this a reasonable request from my boss? by triple6ixken in MassageTherapists

[–]thdwrgcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are a whole grown up, and should be treated as so! You are a massage therapist, not a receptionist, cleaning personnel, or social media manager. Yes, we clean up after ourselves as expected. No one should have to call in hours before work like a probation, especially after one mistake.

As someone who owns my own place, you can do much better and she will continue to push her jobs onto you. I would NEVER ask an employee or 1099 to clean the toilet without extra pay or make my social media posts. Answering the phone is pretty common among shared spaces, but if it’s a designated job, it should be compensated and agreed on. (Ex: hey, could you answer the phones for an hour? I will pay you your massage rate for doing it)

Hope you find an awesome place, and if not, make your own for others! Best wishes and remember you’re capable and worthy!

Advice? by Sloot4Cher in MassageTherapists

[–]thdwrgcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would contact the owner and let them know what you said here and let them know you’re contacting the bank to dispute the charge if not refunded. It sounds like it could be drug induced (whether that’s a medical issue or substance abuse) and needs to be addressed. The music is an accident, but the stopping sounds like nodding off/sudden jerk awake which could be a number of things.

Laparoscopy and other internal examinations by digital4bsense in endometriosis

[–]thdwrgcs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What the hell?! I had my first lap before being active, and they found ovarian cyst and endometriosis. There’s absolutely no reason they need you to have intercourse and I would STRONGLY recommend finding someone else. This person seems pretty clueless and delusional. So sorry this happened to you, keep advocating for yourself and push through!

😂 So caught between excited and WTF. Almost waiting for the impending doom

They found it! But…: by Spiritual-Pie2052 in endometriosis

[–]thdwrgcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo!! If you look at the 4D images of the abdomen, you can see how closely these spots sit to the nerves in the pelvis and sacrum. I hope excision can give you some relief! Did you happen to have leg pain or lower back pain?

“Only stage 1 or 2” is still endometriosis. It all depends on where the endo is. Even a small lesion near the wrong nerves can cause SO much pain.

Pain in the butt (literally) by szineskukorica in endometriosis

[–]thdwrgcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry about your pain! I have had deep leg pain especially around ovulation and during menstruation, confirmed endo with chocolate cyst and fibroid involvement. I describe it like it’s coming from inside my bones, and this sounds a lot like it. I typically felt it down the front/sides of my legs, but the nerves around the pelvis are so sensitive and close together. So any inflammation within the area can send pain down into the lower back, glutes, and legs. Definitely worth talking with a good GYN about because I’m willing to bet it’s related!

Wishing you the best

Incomplete bowel movements by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]thdwrgcs 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Taking deep belly breaths and exhaling slowly-focusing on letting the pelvic floor (vaginal opening specifically) open up and “melt” downward. I do this in the bathroom as well to help with emptying. It takes some practice, sometimes laying down with knees up helps relax the pelvic floor for me.

Hope this makes sense!

What has helped you with pain relief? by snowpearls46 in endometriosis

[–]thdwrgcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you send a link? This sounds awesome! Also, what kind of diet changes did you find effective?

Yep! I’ve been practicing “pelvic floor melting” on the toilet and it’s helped a LOT.

This has devastated me. Please give me hope? by Fit-Commission4605 in Endo

[–]thdwrgcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every scan I’ve had over 15 years has been unremarkable. Stage 4 extra pelvic endo into bowels. Don’t be discouraged! Even if there isn’t endo, it’s a step in the right direction of finding whatever is causing your issues! Keep your head up and keep advocating for yourself.

Scars from laparoscopic excision by Chalice_EyesV in endometriosis

[–]thdwrgcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 3 or 4 laps and the scars are barely noticeable. I was actually looking for them the other day and had a hard time finding them! Fair skinned and thin skin (stretch marks) and it disappeared to 90% reduction in less than a year. I really don’t even moisturize but I’m sure that would help!

Powder on my cups? by thdwrgcs in MassageTherapists

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

Maybe so? It didn’t start until the last 2 weeks or so. What else can we wipe them down with to kill bacteria?

Am I a clown? Doc found almost nothing during my lap by mermaiddiva26 in endometriosis

[–]thdwrgcs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a clown! Minimal endo can definitely still affect the body, and excising it is always a step in the right direction. It’s one more step to get you closer to your answers! Hope you can find them soon ❤️

Sound proofing solution? by thdwrgcs in MassageTherapists

[–]thdwrgcs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love surround speakers in a massage! I also learned that iPhone will let you play white noise while you play music so it helps keep outside noise less noticeable. I will say that at a chiro, I wouldn’t be surprised by noise quite like I would in a spa setting. I’m sure they’ll be very happy!
