The Shocking Truth Behind 77 Medical Conditions Men Rarely Face—And Why They’re Almost Always Overlooked
I had no idea it could be so debilitating.
I frequently get Rhyzotomy/Rhyzolysis/Pulsed Radio Frequency procedures on the nerves in my spine. I am always unconscious for it. Except. Except last time they decided “light sedation” would be fine. I WAS AWAKE WHILE THE RADIATION WENT IN MY SPINE. I was NOT Okay after that.
And I have fibromyalgia, as well as spine pain from bulging discs, arthritis, degenerative discs, etc.
I’m now contemplating my next treatment. And I will be unconscious or they will not be touching me.
Any wear and tear injury experienced by a middle aged woman that’s not related to sports. It boggles my mind how doctors roll out the red carpet for my colleagues that have sports injuries but tear the same tendon from overworking it scrubbing floors and it’s just “wait and see” and long wait times for imaging and nothing for pain.
Chickenpox. Wiped out my immune system and I ended up with pneumonia that took three different antibiotics to cure. Spent six weeks sick, including all of Christmas break. At risk for shingles for the rest of my life. The vaccine came out like two years later. People having “chickenpox parties” can eat a bag of d***s.
Not sure if this counts but Periods and the pain that comes with them people who don’t have V or who do and for what ever reason dont have them can never truly understand how paimfull they are and yout expeted to still do everything you normly do while on it and cramping.
Mammogram. The reason so many women skip their mammograms is because they are practically a medieval t*****e device. There has got to be a better way.
Brain surgery. Before having spinal fusion a few months ago, I googled “most painful surgeries” to see where it fell. It was always #1 or 2, behind joint replacement. Brain surgery never made any of the lists. Brain surgery remains the most excruciating thing I’ve ever endured. Every time I woke up from the morphine, I would scream until the morphine hit again. 2nd most painful was a tonsillectomy. Unless you gargle lidocaine, no pain meds work on the throat. Fusion was tied for 3rd with labor.
