Adenomyosis and Pain!!
I know what you mean - if you actually think about all the "what ifs" with surgery you could scare yourself silly!!! I try not to think about that - but it is always in the back of my mind.

No Fears
For all of you scheduled for surgery, don't worry. I am day 13 post-op and everything went fine. I'm sure it will for you too. There are always "what ifs" in life but if you think about them, it can take all of the joy out of living. Just remember how good it will feel to not have the pain anymore, no more periods. I am so happy I could scream. Right now I would be dreading this weekend (period time) and I would be in A LOT of pain right now. As it is, I just have healing pain. No cramps, no ovulation. IT IS WONDERFUL!!!

Adenomyosis and Pain!!
Hi. I'm new to the site. Endo and adeno were diagnosed 3 years ago, but I know I've had it longer than that. Tried BC pills, lupron, even changing my diet, quite drinking caffeine. All is worse. I was scheduled for a hyster last May, but backed out. Fear about having ovaries removed, and wanted to go through menopause naturally. But the pain and bleeding are beyond control. I'm scheduled for July 11 - the soonest available, and I don't honestly know how I am going to survive either. Lots of prayer, and down time!
Good Luck to everyone . .

Thanks DC Forever
My friends who have had hysterectomies all say "I haven't missed that uterus one bit", which is encouraging. But we're also all in our mid to late 40's, I'm sure it's more difficult for younger women to process, and I feel for all of you. My childbearing years are long gone!
My periods have been the bane of my existence since I started at age 11. Imagine, 38 years of monthly pain. Not to mention cone biopsy's and "LEEPS".. I'm ecstatic it's finally ending. So, I'm actually one of the strange ones looking forward to my hysterectomy....I'm so tired of the constant pain, constant ache. I'm on Motrin almost daily, and during my periods, on Demerol. Nothing else even comes close to relieving the pain. My life revolves around my periods....I have to book travel plans around them (and hope the periods are on schedule or close to it) etc., can't go into work if I'm scheduled to work (I'm a shiftworker, which helps, I've only missed a few days in the past year thankfully). I can't wait to reclaim my life. I'm not having my surgery 'til August 28th, because of prior travel plans and commitments in June and August, my gyno worked around them (can't fly during recovery). So it's Motrin and Demerol 'til then. But I figure on August 29th, my life is my own again, and I can't wait!

Adenomyosis and Pain!!
Thinking of not suffering this daily pain in my stomach and constant feeling like I'm gonna puke and the lower back pain keeps me looking at my surgery with some relief even thou I'm scared to death of being put under.

And You're Right..
Doodlebee, my husband is off work right now with DVT, post surgery (he had knee surgery). So yes, that risk is real, but the important thing is to be aware of the signs of DVT, it doesn't have to be life threatening even if it happens....his is controlled with blood thinners and the clot is almost disipated. My gyno said he would be giving me a shot of something in advance, some blood thinner, to avoid this complication.

Adenomyosis and Pain!!
I too have been through this. It is awful! Immediately after my hysterectomy, I felt better. Don't worry about the post-op. Mine went very well. I had a TVH and laproscopic procedure to look around first. My only complaint is being severely tired now. But, I AM PAIN FREE!! Good luck to you all!

Adenomyosis and Pain!!
Hey sisters,
I had Adenomyosis and had surgery March 7, 2007. It was the best thing I could have ever done. My pains started about a yr ago and were getting worse every month. The pain just before I would get my period would wake me up in the middle of the night. Fortunately I have a very understanding GYN and she didn't see a need to prolong this. Ultra sound showed enlarged uterus, and large mass on right side of uterus, tried the Yaz, which only helped my bleeding but not the pain. I have been totally satisfied with my results and new freedom. Good luck to all.....Hugs!!
