Period pain after LEEP procedure

 I had LEEP for cervical cancer a few years back. Cancer is gone now, but I have horrible periods. Am I alone? Does anyone else suffer since LEEP surgery? I also have fibromyalgia which only adds to the discomfort.

pain and not wanting pain is understandable cuz of medical reason
I mean come on, when he has pain somewhere, does he not want to do something? Seriously, is this a true medical pain problem? If it is, then anyone could understand.
Sorry...should be paint store not pain (maybe pain...hehe)

I think you have the right procedure;
it's just that the results vary from patient to patient. My boss had an ablation, but after just a few months had to have a hysterectomy anyway; it didn't help at all. Others, like the person you mentioned, have great success. I think it's worth it to try an ablation to begin with, if you could be one of the lucky ones. Good luck!
Want to know more about your procedure
I, like so many others, am overweight and would love to be able to take it off. I have some feet issues so the part about walking is totally out for me other than what is necessary. What part of the country are you in, the cost, does insurance cover, time of hospital stay, recovery period and I know about possible complications from gastric bypass, but what about on your end? Thanks for any information.
NovaSure Procedure
I had the NovaSure procedure in February of 2007. It was the best decision of my life!! I was extremely anemic and was on IV iron supplementation for several years before I went searching for an OB/GYN for options for my heavy cycle. I was introduced to this procedure by my OB/GYN and did lots of research online. Basically, it is a minimally invasive endometrial ablation that burns the lining of the uterus to destroy the endometrium. The procedure only lasts a few minutes, but you are put under general anesthesia. My doctor told me it should last approximately 5 years, maybe longer (no guarantees). She told me some patients have much lighter cycles and some have no cycles afterward. I was a lucky one....I have had no cycle since I recovered from my procedure, and also no more IV iron supplementation. This has been great!!!!
She is going to have the procedure performed
on a Thursday by the doctor that, we have been told, invented it. Then the next day she is going to have the plastic surgery done to repair the hole. You waited a week for results...is this something we should be looking into? Still haven't googled it yet. Asked the question yesterday and just got back on the computer today and started reading the answers. Thanks for the info!
I'd certainly wanna see the procedure note
They should have some documentation of what happened. If not, I'd REALLY wanna know exactly what was so minor they'd not document it, but left marks on your body!
It is a MEDICAL procedure. I suppose
spaying is mutilation to you too, right? I don't know if vets tell people....but they remove their ovaries for that. The horror!
If you don't want it done to your cat, don't do it, but leave others alone that need/want to have this done!
Go to their web site and follow their procedure - sm
they have it all there how to report problems, etc.
Anyone familar with Mohr procedure?
My MIL is having this procedure (not exactly sure about the spelling) done to remove a skin cancer. It is supposed to have a 99% rate of the cancer not returning. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this.
Moh's procedure for skin cancer
More info in Mohs procedure.
The reports I edit, the dr. does the procedure, inks and maps specimen for frozen section and sents to path with pt still on table. Based on path results, procedure either done or excise more tissue from area that still shows cancer cells. Sometimes takes 2-3 more specimens. When procedure done, that dr either does repair or if wound too big, a plastic surgeon is scheduled to do repair same day or day or 2 later.
It's cruel. It's a very painful procedure for the cat - sm
as their paws are very sensitive. They don't just remove the claw - they remove the entire terminal phalanx. They lose their first line of defense against attack, or their ability to climb, though they can still jump.
It can also lead to litter box problems due to sore feet, and other behavioral problems.
Instead, buy a little animal toenail-clipper and clip the nails every few weeks. Cheaper, and MUCH more humane.
If I cared about the chair, I'd just put a cover over it for everyday use, so it'll be nice for company. But my cat's health & well-being is worth more than any piece of furniture.
I know someone who had a procedure because it became extremely painful -nm
:)
I agree with you on declawing - it's a painful procedure -sm
and can lead to other behavioral problems. I think the scratching has less to do with the claws than their instinct to scratch. One of my cats is a front-declaw (she came that way, unfortunately) and I feel SO sorry for her. She gets so frustrated when she can't pick anything up with her front paws. She still 'scratches', too, but always uses the scratching post. They do seem to prefer that to anything. My other cat sometimes uses the rug, but it seems to be more as a precursor to a game of chase between them. I trim my clawed cat's nails frequently. The only furniture she tries to scratch on is the bedpost, which is sort of a wicker-type material I got at Ikea. But she does it rarely, and if I really cared about it, I'd protect it somehow.
You might be able to protect the furniture, at the same time enhancing the look, by getting several throws to put over vulnerable areas. Or, if it really only matters if they look good for company, I'd cover the entire piece. That way you wouldn't have to vacuum cat hair, either.
Finally, another option is a product called 'Soft Paws' - a plastic 'fake nail', basically, that is glued on over the existing claw. Kind of a pain to apply, and they do shed off when the outer nail sheds. But they look cute, come in lots of pretty colors (including clear), and they can save the furniture without traumatizing the cat.
dental procedure: root planing
dentist says i need this because of moderate periodontal disease. $200 a quadrant x4 = $800 for what sounds like a horrible, bloody procedure. they say they only do two quadrants at a time. does anyone know anything about this, had it done? please let me know what to expect.... thanxabuncha
Probably got her period or something just as --
silly. She was ordered back to court this morning though and I bet will end up back in jail as the sheriff messed up big time. This "medical" condition has never reared its ugly head before so why now.
No, I mean no alcohol period. nm
No wonder I got my period early!!
:)
I wouldn't have it. Period. sm
Let's Review: Because this man has no decency for manners and boundaries, his father is no better, so you should sit there and squirm?
Get your "@$&s* back, girl! I wouldn't spend one more afternoon like this.
But I would never have let it gotten this far. But that doesn't mean that you can't turn this thing around. He is an adult, as are you. Too bad someone will have to stand up and be the real one. Yes, I'm on your side. Totally!
Keep us posted.
My Friday is Sunday, end of the pay period.

Most teachers have at least one planning period when they
can grade papers. If their job requires work-related hours away from school, they are given comp time.
But you know how long a normal period
should last, so therefore you take matters into your own hands and be more assertive before you drop over.
"did it SOUND like I used a period?""

(Actually Harry S Truman. No period after the S.

I wouldn't talk about it again with him, period.
I doubt you will ever get it unless he grows up and accepts responsibility for himself.
I wouldn't waste my breath and energy being upset over it any longer. If he came over or called me talking about it, blaming me, I'd hang up or tell him to leave and push him out the door.
The day he can speak to me with decent respect and take his own accountability like a man is the day I would open that door or stay on the phone with him.
Ridiculous.
I just 'knew' long before my period was even
late. I also knew I was having a girl even though everyone kept telling me it would be a boy. Strange how the mind/body works! My breasts were also horribly tender at about 1-1/2 to 2 months along. My money is on you deserving some congratulations... :)
I agree, a 2-1/2 year old is gross, period.
But a blanket over the toddler? The kid would probably start playing peek-a-boo and winking and laughing. How about that for a visual. Ick! lol
Gosh - I'm dressed when working, period. LOL

Get an excuse, for a normal period that most all girls have?
You seem to be jumping to higher ups before anyone talks with the teacher. I would ask for a conference with that particular teacher to see what is said about the incident. Can you just image giving every female off for having a period? Does that seem like you should have an excuse for something that is so normal? I say introduce the daughter to tampons, welcome to the adult world!
Four marriage counsellors so far over a period of about 8 years (nm) :(

Cold/sinus infection with beginning of period?
Okay, here's the deal. The day before my period, for the last year or so, I get a horrendously bad cold/sinus infection/flu-type process. It usually goes away about a day or two after my period. I have never ever had this happen before and its really bad this month. I have all the symptoms... stuffiness, red runny eyes, runny stuffy nose, pounding headache, throat like daggers, etc. It started as postnasal drip yesterday and I thought ohhh great... here we go. Needless to say I was up most of last night in complete tears because of the pain of it all and not being able to swallow at all. I have tried researching on the internet about this happening, but can't find any information. Has anyone heard of this or had this happen? I just want to stop it. truly, I would take the worst god awful cramps over this torture. I have had this both on and off the pill and I am only 31. Any information would be appreciated as I know what a wealth of information our community could be. Unfortunately, I am in Europe and so I can't go to my GP easily. The doctors here don’t do anything about anything unless its major either and I know they will brush it off as some silly sinus infection, but it happens every month and goes away in 3 days on its own, so it can't be a run of the mill thing. Any advice is welcome. I go home to the US in 6 months and I can wait if I have to, but maybe some angel out there knows something to help. I have tried tons of medications and herbal things/natropathic and nothing works except my period being established.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the icky topic. ;)
If a person hasn't had a period in 13 years, doesn't that
My money is riding on the tumor theory posted below.
Still entitled to my opinion: Shocking animals is cruel, period.

Yes, sore breasts and missed period are definitely good indicators...
take a test already and let us know--lol
Sorry your MIL is a pain..
Sounds like you both need a time out from each other.
Pain
Can you use your hot keys instead of the foot pedal? That works for me.
Lilly
So sorry for your pain
and also for your daughter's pain.
Pain
Everyones pain threshholds are very different. I have had three children naturally and was up walking right after. I had my tubal and was able to go back to work the next day and never needed any of the pain pills that were prescribed.
However my little sister was laid up for almost a week after hers.
So what was easy for me might not be for you I would say speak to your physician he or she hopefully knows you well enough to knowledgeably tell you what to expect. Just be sure no matter what you have someone with you when you get home to give you a hand just in case it is more than you bargained for.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hopefully it will be uneventful and as painless as possible. Keep us updated.
Arm pain
Has anyone had this happen. I sometimes wake up and my right arm from the elbow to the top of the shoulder burns/aches....very bad and to the point I need to wrap it in a heating pad. The rest of the arm is not affected by pain but my fingers sometimes are a little clumsy especially when trying to type. This has happened around three times now over the past year. It lasts for a couple of hours and then it goes away. I guess it is nothing to worry about but it sure does hurt! Ouch. Just wondering what it could be and/or what causes it.
Oh believe me, there was PAIN!!
Terrible pain for three days straight, but the worst thing is my ortho glued these bite blocks in back of my top front teeth and NONE of my teeth touch! Imagine trying to eat anything but soup or yogurt! I am going to Vegas early June, and one of the main reasons I was going was to eat at some of those world-class restaurants. I'm hoping he will remove them just for the week of my trip, or it looks like I'll be having soup at Wolfgang Pucks...
Do you have a lot of pain?
Do you have fibroids? Have you had a colposcopy? when the doctor cuts out pieces of the cervix, can be done in the office, a little painful.
I had no symptoms, just 1 abnormal Pap and then got the diagnosis, so it was caught early.
I wish I could help you more. Are you seeing your doc soon? I would get in as soon as possible since you are so concerned.
Really bad rib pain, anyone else?
I am in the midst of going to first 1 and then the other. I am trying to work and sitting here with pain in the front and back - rib sections. What I am wondering, has anyone else been bothered with this? I have fibromyalgia but this fibro has never settled in ribs before- maybe it can, don’t know? No other symptoms at all (well besides ongoing pain with other places with the fibro) but not as severe and ongoing like this. Any one out there with similar and if so, what kind of treatment prescribed and so forth. Thanks!
SI pain and leg pain
I have pain in my knee, especially when I am resting in bed. I work for chiropractors and they gave me Biofreeze, that helps to a degree. Exercise also helps, they recommended some.
I would like to know what exercises you do. I know I need to lose at least 60 pounds myself, what do you suggest?
I have gone through the same pain
Some years ago, I had to have my tailbone removed. When I had the MRI it showed the tailbone had turned in the opposite direction, now try sitting on that for awhile! I also had severe arthritis in that area and a lot of pain. When they removed the coccyx it solved the problem, but now, many years since, I have had other problems, with 2 back surgeries and neck surgery, so I have a lot of pain. I too take pain meds, but before that I underwent PT, injections, et cetera, and numerous anti-inflammatories, none of which really worked. I could not work if I did not take something for the pain. I don't do well sitting for long periods either, and have to get up and move around.
I'm sorry for your pain
We brought home a puppy in January, and I know how fast I became attached to him and how devastated I'd be to lose him even only after such a short while. We also just lost a long-time family pet, and I feel your pain. I'm so sorry for what you're going through and for what you have gone through.
I know your pain!
I went through the same type of thing years ago. I remember after a repeated battles with them, I saw a segment on the local news (talking about the outbreak) and that it's important not to make a big deal about it (so the kids don't think it's so bad). I remember thinking ... right, you go through this crap over and over and then say not to make a big deal about it!!
Anyway, I saw on the show The Doctors that mayo works, but I see you already know about that. I don't know any other good tricks but know people who have cut their girls' hair very short to make the whole process easier.
Maybe you could make sure you kids wear something on their heads on the bus as a barrier.
Also, I know sometimes at school for young ones who hang coats near each other, they will have them put garbage bags over their coats.
One time when my kids got them, I also got them, and they got really bad before I realized why I was itching in my occiput so badly at night. Eeeew! My husband never got them (figures). :)
I'm so sorry for you pain...
My dad drank a lot too. I don't know that he was an alcoholic though. My dad was a horrible father when all five of the kids were at home. He beat my oldest brother horrendously in front of all of us many, many times. He lined us all up by age when I was 5 (I'm the youngest) with a shotgun and was going to kill us all because we were making him old. There is a long list of other things that happened.
Once we moved out of the house, he turned into a different man. He did apologize to us. He became the best father and friend I could ask for. He was always so thrilled when I stopped by and made me feel more loved than anyone ever has. Fourteen years ago yesterday, my dad was killed in an airplane crash. He had an experiemental airplane and was flying by himself.
I have never forgotten my childhood because it has a lot to do with who I am today, but I am so thankful for the time I did have with him once things changed.
Maybe you could tell your dad how you feel about him, explain how hard it is to be around him now and let him take the next step. It might be worth a shot. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know it is really difficult to sort out all the emotions sometimes. I'll be thinking of you.
I'm sorry that I dug up old pain for you.
But, remembering can be helpful in this situation and others. I'm really sorry for the loss of your child. I also went through that when I was a young woman. Years and years later, I still have times when I feel profoundly sad about that.
I know this is an awkward thought transition, but perhaps one other thing I should mention about my father's death, and maybe your daughters' friends may experience this, as well. I was 21 when my dad died, and so everyone treated me as though... how do I describe this??? Well, I really felt that because I was an adult at 21 and that my father had suffered through a long chronic illness, that other people felt his passing was not so very traumatic for me. People actually said, "At least you are grown up. It's not as bad as if you were a little girl." I know now that people can say things that hurt unintentionally. But it hurt at the time. Yes, I was an adult, and I was helping with the funeral planning and had been very active in my father's healthcare, even speaking to doctors at the hospital and making decisions when my mother was not there. But I felt like a little girl when he died. I think that it's important for people to remember that young adults losing a parent have much more experience being children than they do being adults. It's a weird sort of transition to be in. Everyone expects you to be adult, but you feel like a kid.
That's just one other thing to keep in mind.
