I had a laparoscopic surgery with a D & C August 2009. It was the first time that I actually got answers and a diagnosis, which made me feel relieved - it was not all in my head! During the first month after surgery, I have had ups and downs, but I feel like overall the feeling of pressure/fullness is gone.
Cleared up the clot and got rid of the pain fast. Needed it do to clot compressing an artery.
Working / Worked
I have had many surgeries since the age of 12.
