#lower-back-pain — Public Fediverse posts

This is periodic reminder to everyone with ovaries who might be experiencing #LowerBackPain and #Bloating.

I had this for 5 years, continuous #MedicalGaslighting telling me I just needed to be more active.

In 5 years I went from a very fit active person who enjoyed hiking, camping, boating and daily workouts with a muscular body, to an overweight and depressed hermit. By this time last year I needed a walking stick to get around.

Then I fell and had a post menopausal bleed, so taken in for an ultrasound.

They found a melon sized #ovarianCyst which was pressing on my lower spine.

It was removed in march and since then I've not had a single moment of the #ChronicPain that had been holding me back.

I've lost nearly 3 stone, and am starting to get my life back.

Please please insist on an abdominal scan if you are experiencing lower back pain that your GP is blaming you for, you never know!

4 days post surgery and today I have bagged up rubbish to take to the bins, done a 10 min work out on the crosstrainer, pottered about doing some random light housework, done 3 hours of paid work (WFH), made lunch, and had a shower.

Previous to surgery I would have been able to do 1 or 2 of those things only before my back pain made it impossible to do anymore.

NOT EVEN A FUCKING TWINGE

I'm sorry to keep going on about it but I am beyond excited by this.

Lesson for others is please PLEASE insist on an abdominal scan if you have unexplained #LowerBackPain #backpain they keep dismissing. This was a melon sized #OvarianCyst lurking for atleast 5 years putting pressure on my lower spine.

The difference now it's been removed is life changing for me 😍

Sciatica and #lowerbackpain has been killing me . It's always compounded by stress but it's been really really bad. Due to religious holidays I have been off of so much work which just means I have to work double the amount of time the following day. Which leads to more stress besides the stress that the holidays already bring .


I'm always tired and barely functional.. I have a two week break from the holidays soon and then right after have to fly overseas for my brothers wedding which will destroy my back yet again.

These three months have been hell on earth and I truly feel for anyone who has #chronicpain
