I’m going out of my MIND. My period itself is uncomfortable, I don’t enjoy it whatsoever, but the **second** my period ends and I enter my follicular phase, it is total hell on earth. My vaginal canal aches, my ass aches, my lower back feels like it’s breaking in half. I had my ovary removed and the area where that ovary used to be has what I’m guessing are phantom pains and feels like it’s being stabbed with a knife. That pain radiates down my right hip and leg with such intensity that I can hardly move that leg. I walk with a limp and frankly, cry until I’m nearly screaming. This continues into ovulation and then lifts afterwards — only to do it all over again shortly after. I can’t take it anymore. Has ANYONE else dealt with extreme limb pain? I did speak with my doctor, she believes it’s likely that there is nerve involvement since it’s cyclical; mostly suspects that it’s on my sciatica. What’s my best mode of action here? Continuous BC? Hysterectomy?   submitted by   /u/IIIVIIXVIII [link]   [comments]
