#excisionsurgery

1508 posts

SinceSince discovering I have endometriosis, I’ve been on a journey to advocate for my health. I underwent #excisionsurgery for my #endometriosis , and even though the doctor found additional issues, I remain determined to pursue healing naturally. I recently got a Groupon for acupuncture and other holistic treatments. After sharing my pain points with the doctor—bulging disk in my neck, weakness on my right side, and lower back discomfort, along with my surgery from November—I felt so relieved! I left the appointment feeling happy and grateful. I’ve already scheduled another visit for next week. For anyone interested, he accepts most insurance; my co-pay was only $15! 😭🙏🏽 #thankyouuniverse For those familiar with my story, you know the challenges I’ve faced—car accidents, spinal fusion, endometriosis, cysts, polyps, adenomyosis, endometriomas, and more. Stay tuned for part 2... 💯 #holistichealth #holistichealing #naturalremedys #spirituality #guerrera #diaries #holisticjourney #spinalfusion #surgerys #epidurals #naturalmedicine

talking about endo is still hard for me bc i always thought i’d just try to keep it under wraps from ppl for as long as i could. however, it is a progressive disease and with that progression i grow tired of pretending to be what i’m not and hiding my body. most days i’m wildly fatigued, have brain fog, abdomen pain that keeps me bedridden. it’s embarrassing bc i’m 26, but feel so sick most days i’m stuck under a heating pad. most endo patients will undergo not 1 but many many surgeries in their life as excision surgery is still treated as the “gold standard” for treatment unfortunately. there is no cure, and at this time there is no real research done for What causes endo in women. there’s cases of endo found in infants, in children and although most ppl believe endo only grows outside the uterus it can actually grow on almost any part of the body. the brain, the heart, the diaphragm, anywhere in the abdomen cavity….etc. it can adhere your organs to each other, and some patients even need surgeries like bowl resections bc endo can be deeply infiltrating. i’d just like to talk about endo more, and make more ppl aware about it if possible bc it took nearly two years for me to even get diagnosed, get surgery, and even still i deal with the chronic pain and complications of it all. if you have endo and are reading/watching this ooo do i see you. its so hard, you dont know what its like until you live with this disease. ppl still try to invalidate those with it and say endo is just “painful periods” but its sooo much worse than that.

Replying to @Liv i'll be asking all of my future surgeons to do this because it's incredibly validating & so helpful to go back to #excisionsurgery #surgery #endometriosis

Recovery update! (laparoscopic excision of endometriosis) Slow but steady progress. Every day is a little bit better and every day I get stronger and have more range of motion. Surgery was a lot more traumatic and challenging than I expected. I got Covid two weeks after my surgery, which slowed my progress tremendously. It has been incredibly humbling to go from life as a professional dancer to a grinding halt. I thought I might enjoy some time off, but being in recovery is so mentally taxing that it’s certainly not enjoyable. On many days I would burst into tears over the smallest thing. I think the most valuable thing I have learned from this experience is how easy it is to fall off the wagon of health. I know this is only temporary for me, but it made me think about how many people experience an accident or a serious illness and lose the ability to be independent and healthy. My four week glimpse into that life was scary. It made me realize how incredibly important it is to maintain your physical fitness. I was incredibly strong when I went into this surgery, stronger and more mobile than most people,and it’s going to take me a good amount of work to get back to my normal. If I had started off week I believe recovery would have been more difficult. Prioritize your health and fitness so that you can handle what comes your way. Don’t let doubt or perfectionism stand in your way and do what you can. #surgeryrecovery #endometriosis #endometriosisjourney #professionaldancer
