Well, I now know what being in hell is like.

The pain from this fibroid is indeed like no other.

Very intense strong period pains which radiate into my hips and down my legs.

Ibuprofen doesn’t work.
Paracetamol doesn’t work.
Naproxen doesn’t work.

I’m not taking anything which may cause constipation, as this b*****d fibroid is pressing on my bowel, causing issues all on its own in there!

Gynae wants to do an MRI of fibroid. I just want it out. I have never felt so ill and in pain in my life.

Any other pain relief types you can suggest, will be welcomed.

Frantically trying to work out how I can get a hysterectomy asap, even if private.

So sorry Nas. I have been reading your posts but cannot offer any advice. I wonder if codeine may be any use for you as it can be bought over the counter.

[Nas]

Thanks Flossie,
There nothing anyone can do really. It’s a god awful situation to be left in so much pain daily.

I will call 111 later, If I’m not dead!

I've read high doses of Vitamin d help shrink fibroids, might be worth trying.

Paramol, which contains codeine, may work? Can cause constipation but you could take with magnesium citrate to counteract. I get excruciating period pains and paramol is the one otc painkiller that works. Can't take long term tho.

When is your appointment?

[Penguin]

And big hugs, I'm so sorry you are still dealing with this and that it hasn't been removed as a priority.

Hello Nas

I am so sorry that you are suffering.

I can't be of much help unfortunately but my favourite science nutrition site NutritionFacts.org has reported some research regarding fibroids. It sounds whacky but it appears that green tea has helped to reduce fibroids in trials. Maybe take a look at the site for more information.

I hope you get all this resolved soon and sending huge hugs to you.

Take care.

This sounds awful, Nas. Remember you can always go to A&E if your pain is unmanageable. Hope you get some relief x

So sorry to hear you are in so much pain.  You have been so kind to me on this forum I wish I could be more help.   I can only echo the sympathy from others here. I don't understand why you haven't had more support from doctors.  I really hope you get some proper help soon.  Sending love and hugs.

Sorry you are still in so much pain. Could the fibroid be degenerating?

Hi Nas

So sorry to hear you’re suffering. I’ve always had excruciating period pains and I used to use nurofen plus for which you can buy over the counter. I now get codeine prescribed and use with ibuprofen. You could get nurofen plus for now ( it can take a while to take effect but somehow lying down seems to help) and get a prescribed painkiller asap from your gp. I hope you feel better really soon. Don’t worry, there are painkillers that will solve this!

[Nas]

Thanks all.
Death seems preferable right now, trust me.

I also think I'm low in oestrogen again. Anxiety has re appeared and I’ve forgotten how to drive!

I’m stalling the car, my brain and body are not connected at all. I can’t follow conversations and I generally can’t be bothered with life. Heart is beating continuously.

I only went to the local supermarket and my driving was appalling.

I can’t do this.

[Katherine]

Nas I’ve felt like you and I just stay in  until it passes otherwise similar things would happen to me. Your pain is consuming all your energy right now and the fact you even managed to go out in the car is amazing. This WILL pass. Take the painkillers, if they don’t work call 111. Lie down, relax, you are coping really well. I believe in you. Xxx

[Nas]

Thankyou Katherine

I think you are right. My pain is zapping the life out of me. I have so much to do at home.

This fibroid is pressing on my bowel. My oestrogen is low, I’m in pain, work tomorrow, I can’t cope 

[Katherine]

Nothing is more important than you feeling better. If I were you I would leave your house jobs and call in sick tomorrow and take your painkillers and lie down. I would call your gp surgery tomorrow as an urgent appointment, get some strong painkillers prescribed to use until you get the surgery or whatever the more permanent solution is. Right now just look after yourself.xxx
