ADENOMYOSIS PAIN help

Doctor thinks I have Adenomyosis too, I am 44, 1 vaginal birth, tubal ligation and Novasure Endometrial Ablation in 2015. I had the ablation due to heavy abnormal bleeding. I have not had a period since then, which is great, BUT this pain that I have been experiencing the past year for up to 2 weeks in a month. I think it happens when I would normally have a period, but since I don't have periods anymore it's hard to tell. The pain seems to be more in the morning, it affects bowel movements and it feels like trapped gas. Sex is very painful during and after. I'm seeing a new dr too because of insurance change and I'm not particularly fond of this dr. My last gyno was my dr for 20+ years. During my diagnosis the dr couldn't examine me much due to the pain from a boggy uterus. I've never been a chicken during gynecological visits, BUT GIRL, I thought I would jump through the ceiling. He prescribed an antibiotic (cephalexin)to help with some of the inflammation and Toradol for the pain(it mostly dulls the pain). I go back to the dr next week for follow up and discuss hysterectomy and other options. I know I'm not going to take any BC pills I've been there and done that for many many years and from what I have researched it was just a bandaid and caused more harm then good. I'm laying here as I type with a heating pad and Toradol. This really sucks. I will more than likely go with the hysterectomy but I'm my mothers caregiver and she's waiting for a date for her mastectomy. I can't be down when I have to take care of her. So I'm hoping to be pain free somehow and soon. I keep thinking that the Novasure ablation failed me...hmm Anyway sorry for the rant, hope you all get the relief you need too. #ADENOMYOSISSUCKS #ADENOMYOSIS #ENDOMETRIOSIS #HYSTERECTOMY
