Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hey JP! I well know how painful degenerating fibroids can be....it sent me to the E.R. twice....and painpills don't seem to do much to help... but time did and so did the heating pad. If you want to keep your uterus...there really is no reason why you can't! I know you said you don't want surgery and did not want any more kids. There is an option called UAE. Check it out....it is done by an Interventional Radiologist and has a quick recovery period. Here is a link with more information. http://www.fibroidoptions.com/embol.htm Also, there is a UAE fibroid group here on Yahoo Groups...so check it out too! Here is that link: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/embo/ Best of Luck! I thought it was appendicitis. The symptoms were classic, low grade fever, lower right quadrant pain that didn't move, etc. etc. I went into the hospital 5 days ago and because my white count was not seriously elevated they decided to do a CT scan. The CT revealed that the appendix was fine. It turns out one of the larger fibroids that I have twisted on itself. They called it infarcted. The doctor in the ER said see a surgeon, get a hysterectomy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Have you heard of an Embolization? I had it done on a Thursday, I was out of comission Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues and by Wednesday I was back to work. I've heard of people having it and back to work 2 days later, no one more than a week. (I'm a big baby when it comes to anything so feel like I needed all the time that I needed to heal) 2 years later, I'm GREAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Thank you everyone. I feel so normal all of a sudden. I've been feeling like a freaked out medical misfit all week worrying that I was about to loose my career, my physical strength, great sex, everything...I've got homework to do, but I feel like a real load has been lifted. Thank you for the information. JP Nataly H wrote: > Have you heard of an Embolization?
