Anything being put through the cervix / into the uterus – IUD insertion, endometrial biopsy, colposcopy. “Just take an ibuprofen before your appointment and you’ll be fine!”
Migraines and cluster headaches. I used to get Migraines that wouldn’t stop until I puked just from my head hurting so bad. I got it under control thank goodness but I have a lot of sympathy for people who tell me they have a headache.
Nerve Pain. There is no relief. No medication. Just have to deal with it. Had to leave a business meeting to puke from the pain. It has been years since the injury and it’s under control but hasn’t gone away. Nerves take forever to heal. I didn’t understand what chronic pain was until I experienced it.
Endometrosis and uterine fibroids – they are debilitating for many women but because they won’t end you a lot of people are expected just to cope. It may affect up to 20% of women to varying degrees and the pain is often played down as “normal”. If your period or ovulation time is causing you to cramp, bleed heavily, pass out or vomit see a doctor and get a referral to a gynacologist and keep pushing. Being out of commision for 2-5 days a month is not normal.
Throwing out your lower back. People laugh about it likes it nothing but it seriously hurts like hell.
CPR. It is not what it looks like on TV. If you do NOT break ribs you are NOT doing it hard enough to beat the person’s heart for them. At that point we are not stopping your 93 year old Full Code grandma from passing, we are bringing her back to life just for her to feel all the pain of her broken, battered body until her body passes away a second time.
C-section. It’s painful, high susceptibility to infections, recovery while being a new mom, it’s not easy. It’s downplayed even making you think that it’s normal. It’s major surgery and really requires rest during the recovery. Which is really challenging when you’re also bonding with a new baby.

C-Section. We talk about it so casually, but I felt them pulling and tugging and yanking at my body as they got my baby out and then I hurt after for MONTHS. I’m ashamed I didn’t bow to every woman who mentioned having one before I had my own. Truly a hellish experience.
Hidradenitis suppurativa also known as “acne inversa”.
People often mistake it for harmless acne, that’s why i don’t really like the term “acne inversa”. It’s actually incredibly painful and big absecess, that can turn into a sepsis in very bad cases. There is no cure and your skin basically gets ruined and is full of scars and in extreme cases, open wounds and holes. There’s also not much you can do to prevent it and everything that doctors suggest, could help, isn’t even guaranteed, because we don’t know much about it yet.
On top, people often aren’t taken serious, because they say that the reason they have it, is their overweight, which is confirmed not to be the cause.
You lose your whole quality of life, because you can almost eat nothing, as it triggers your HS even more.
You can not wear cool clothing, because it causes the flares to hurt like hell.
Oh, and you will also ruin it and also bed sheets and other stuff you sit or lay on, when your flares leak and bleed.
You are judged because people don‘t really believe you that it’s THAT bad or don’t take it serious. This is basically why it‘s so unknown. Scientists just don‘t bother to do researches, that‘s what I heard.
You smell, no matter how much you shower.
You develop mental illnesses.
You have just a higher risk of developping diabetes, if I‘m correct.
You are constantly tired and hot, because your whole body is full of inflamations.
Sometimes it’s so painful that you can’t even move some days, because every step just hurts and nothing truly helps to relieve the pain except simply not moving. It’s hell. Especially as an young girl, who has her whole life ahead of her. You are basically never beautiful.
