I had endometriosis cysts removed just under 6 years ago. Id had them for 5 years cos dizzy gp told me they was fatty tissue from my c section!
Only when the pain was so horrendous and i was suicidal with it did i get put on pethedine had an mri and finally the operation itself.
The pain coming round from the op was like nothing i have every experienced and the aneathetist ( whoever he was i love him forever!) gave me five shots of pethedine till i feel back asleep.
Next thing i hear the surgeon and nurse talking he ask how im doing
Nurse: she is settled now but was in extreme pain in recovery.
surgeon: im not surprised with waht i just removed from her.
Me WTF! pass out again.
next day i spoke to the surgeon at what he took out of me. ( was originally told cysts measured 3cm by 2cm was 2 of them).
He said they were both bigger than his fist and had bllod vessels coming out of them the size of drain pipes! He said they had been "feeding" off me.
Anyway i had my a c section 18 months ago and have been in pain every since which is slowly getting worse. It feels like that have left a scalpel in my scarring.
I have gp's appointment tomorrow. but i am so scared for 1 that the cysts are back and 2 they will make me wait years to remove them again.
