When It All Changed

I have always been a slightly smaller than average young woman, and have always dealt with heavier and more painful periods. I have always dealt with them; I bought the ultra-heavy pads, kept a heating pad at my side for over ten years, and always made sure I have pain medication on hand; even timing when I had to take them in order to maximize their results. Recently, however (about 3 years ago) I began to experience terrible, painstakingly searing pain in my pelvis and lower back. This transcended to many gynecologists telling me my pain was all in my head or other misdiagnosed results. I finally got diagnosed and got my surgery and I am finally starting to feel like I am on the path to relief. I’m very thankful.
