I had my tubes tide quite some time ago, when I was in my 30's I am 47
now and after I got my done a few years after I started getting really
bad cramps when I was on my period. It seem like every other period the
cramps were so bad that it make me sick and keel over with pain. Pills
and heating pad didn't even help sometimes. It was just like having a
baby the pain was so bad. Now I still get cramps when I get my period
but not as bad. Now I am bleeding all the time in between periods. I
was told that I had IC first and got pills for that I went for the test.
Its like ulchers on your bladder. but I am still bleeding and now have
back pain and pain above my virgina.. I am going to a guincallist soon
as I get the appt.
sick of wearing pads all the time and it starts and stops at anytime.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OPERATIONS AND AM LUCKY TO HAVE 2 BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY CHILDREN AND UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE LOST ONE. I DECIDED TO HAVE MY TUBES TIED IN MAY 2005. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK IT WAS THE WORSE THING I EVER HAD DONE. I HAVE ALWAYS RECOOPERATED AND HEALED VERY QUICKLY. SINCE THE TUBE SURGERY I HAVE HAD SEVERE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS WETHER I HAVE MY PERIOD OR NOT! (SIMILAR TO WHEN I WAS YOUNG)AND CRAMPING DURING MY PERIODS ALONG WITH BLOATING AND INTENSE PAIN IN MY PELVIC AREA. THIS PAIN SEEMS TO COME AS IT PLEASES AND IS THERE EVEN WHEN MY CYCLE IS OVER. EVERYTHING TRIGGERS IT. WALKING UP STEPS, PICKING SOMETHING UP, STANDING AND SOMETIMES AFTER A BOWEL OR BLADDER MOVEMENT IT IS SO SEVERE I CANNOT HARDLY STRAIGHTEN UP AND IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES. I AM TERRIFIED TO HAVE RELATIONS AS I FEAR IT WILL CAUSE PAIN. I WAS CHECKED IN JUNE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE ACCORDING TO MY DOCTOR. I AM GOING TO PRINT ALL THE INFORMATION FROM THE WEBSITES I HAVE LEARNED OF HERE AND TAKE THEM TO MY DOCTOR. I THOUGHT I WAS JUST GOING CRAZY. I NOW KNOW THERE ARE OTHER POSSIBILITIES AND SUFFERERS LIKE ME. I AM GLAD TO HAVE FOUND THIS SITE!! THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION!!
