Pain.. still

It has now been two weeks since I got that endometrial biopsy on Christmas Eve. I was hurting before, and I still hurt. At least the calcium mass, and the reason for my biopsy came back “normal,” though they haven’t been able to find the specific cause of my pain.

Dr. S thinks it’s because of my ovaries being so heavy from the excess liquid from all the cysts. They’re 2.5-4 times their normal size, so (in comparison) instead of them being the size of a plum, they’re more like an orange or grapefruit. (not literally speaking)

He thinks that when I lose weight, my body will automatically heal the cysts that are there, and stop making new ones. (I can only hope at this point that he is right) In the meantime, I have to endure this pain. He said a few of them may be about to burst, and that is what is causing the pain. This means, every time I use muscles that, in a way, squeeze my ovaries, I will be feeling it.

Sometimes I like to fall asleep at night on my stomach, but then I have two lumps, you can’t feel from the outside, causing me pressure, and making me very uncomfortable. The only good thing about this is that I know what is causing the pain, for the most part.

After I lose weight, if I’m still having major issues, he wants to do a cat scan or MRI. (which ever one will show layers of tissue that the ultrasound can’t do) We won’t know until probably spring or summer time for that part. I’m just hoping I lose enough weight that I heal. Who cares what’s causing it, make it stop!

yesterday I spent hours pulling apart our cleaning supplies, and reorganizing them. It was a ton of up and downs, on the floor, up again… lifting, moving, turning… I had a ton of discomfort by the time I was finished. Today, I wanted to “take it easy.” I washed a full sink load of dishes, and swept the floor… Now I think I can barely move enough to bring myself back to work.

Only good thing is that it’s a job driving, and I don’t have a ton of stress going to my abdomen. Also, I don’t have that old cranky bus that burst the cyst three years ago… they’ve been kind enough to give me good buses since. 🙂
