 Picture of me after my excision surgery post-op appointment with Dr. Stephen Hickner. I didn’t know how much my life would change after receiving expert excision surgery for my endometriosis pain and symptoms back in early June of 2019 (June 4th to be exact and yes, I will probably remember that date forever).
A part of me was hopeful, I wanted this surgery to work and at least minimize some of the chronic pain that had turned me life completely upside down the previous year. I had done so much research in Nancy’s Nook (a Facebook group dedicated to self-directed learning on endometriosis) after my first laparoscopy in late December 2018 confirmed endometriosis. Unfortunately, that surgery didn’t really do much for my pain, and created a new pain symptom. Nevertheless, I tried to find new ways to manage this disease that had finally been found and confirmed via pathology. That alone was validating. The pain wasn’t all in my head – I had a disease that’s nearly impossible to find without surgery. |
