Hi all,
Posting this in hope that someone may be able to share similar experiences and advice,
Im currently undergoing treatment for fibroids. A couple of months ago i was diagnosed with mutliple fibroids, the biggest being 10cm which was apparently at the back wall of my Uterus. The best option i was given was Hysterectomy, because of my symptons and having a blood clotting disorder it meant my options were even less. I'm currently on the GNRH injection (second month in, for 3 months).
Before i started the treatment, by symptoms were really severe. Heavy menstrual bleeding, constipation, bloating, a heavy dull aching pain in my pelvis, to the much that i couldnt sit down without it hurting. The GNRH injections have helped stop the periods, but one thing that just won't budge is the hip pain. Its horrific, i can't sleep or even walk properly still. I feel like im 100 years old, and I've only just turned 39!
It doesn't look like i'll be able ot have a family of my own at this point unfortunately.
Has anyone else experienced similar symptons on the GNRH injections? My hip pain is like a dull ache, sharp stabbing pain. I'm assuming its the fibroid that is pressing into one of the nerves, but i would have thought that the GNRH would reduce this sympton amongst the others?
Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou :-) xx
