I'm in so much pain. What do I do?
So I had two kids via c-section . I'm told within the last few months I have endometriosis and ovarian cyst. I am in so much pain, I can't even sleep with my partner. I swell up to the point I can't even urinate often. What do I do? I don't have a family to watch kids even if I had surgery. I'm so stressed.

@A.LR217 , Thank you so much for reaching out. You are certainly not alone. I know many community members have described this pain and difficulties with sex. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this as well. Have you had a chance to ask your doctor about what you can do regarding the pain and swelling?? I hope some community members will chime in with some personal experiences that might help. In the meantime, I wanted to share some articles with you that I hope will be insightful, as well.

Hi
, so sorry to have read you were dealing with such pain. How have you been feeling lately? Pam certainly left you with some great articles to read. You are not alone with feeling like this. I have so much pain and difficulties with sex myself. I know you said it would be too hard to get, but surgery was certainly one of the best things for me. It has helped some. But there are also other ways to manage pain + I do hope you can find something that works for you <3 Sending hugs. -Kimberli (Team Member)
