Morning. Currently hiding in the loo at work trying to hold off tears as I am on day 1 of my period. I suffer from extremely heavy periods and excruciating pain in my back, stomach and hips. Sometimes the pain is so bad even walking is agony. I'm on a waiting list for an ablation and I'm hoping with everything I've got that it solves some of the issues. Work know I have this problem but it's dismissed as 'just a bad period'. Only my DH knows how badly I suffer as he sees it every month. I am prescribed very strong painkillers each month but they barely take the edge off. Not sure what I am hoping to achieve with this thread but just needed to vent. I don't know what else I can do but be patient for my op. I actually have a feeling of dread every time I start my period as I know what's to come.
