Pelvic Cavity Puns

The way I see it, I either have endo on my leg nerves and/or spine OR I have MS.

When I have a flare up, my legs burn and feel tighter and tighter until it feels like they’re being crushed. I’m laid up unable to sit up or walk, then it’s gone in 1-4 weeks and everything is normal for a month or 3.

I have already been diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis AND got an excision surgery done. I’ve read up on pelvic floor weakness and don’t think I have that. I also don’t have sciatic pain at all. My hips and butt are unaffected. I’m so sad and stressed that I’m still in a level of pain that doesn’t allow me to work without losing a job due to absences.

Did anyone have endo grow on their nerves? What was done? Is it a surgical solution?

I heard it’s really rare for endo to leave the pelvic region. Has anyone had that happen?

Sup my dudes, Ive got some really important infomation. Watch this video https://youtu.be/DpuvZaavlVY

Basically I bet nobody here has ever massaged the abdominals and their tissues that insert into the core from the side of their ribs etc, this whole core matrix needs to have equal and optimal tension for you to look and move well. Remember form and function go hand in hand, it’s all about being secure for your nervous system to express itself. If u have a bulging guy but ur not fat it’s cos u got tight abs imo. Pls start looking at diagrams of the inner thigh and glutes and pelvis, it will allow for a lot more freedom up above. Also some ppl report pp chron late when they work out and it’s cos they are throwing their intra abdominal pressure off, never releasing. All good tho.

Don’t look in the mirror too much if it’s causing pain, the same way u don’t gawk at somone om the street, it’s about respect and respecting primal instincts and the nervous system and potential chakra algorithms, so respect yourself, be logical but also move off of feels and you should get results.

Hello! I have a question about the pelvic cavity. Does the colon actually touch the L5-S1 joint in the spine and going down into the sacrum or is there some kind of muscular tissue separating the two? Thank you!

Just wondering if anyone has experience with having endo outside of the pelvic cavity? I know it's super rare, but I'm starting to suspect I may have lesions in an area outside of the pelvis.

A bit of history- I had stage IV lesions excised from my bowel, bladder, uterus, uterosacral ligaments, abdominal wall and back of vaginal wall 1 year ago by an endo specialist, but still get a lot of pain.

Recently I've been noticing during my period that I get this strange gnawing/ pulling pain in the upper left region of my abdomen, under my rib near my diaphragm. There is also a sharper, stronger pain in my back, mid- thoracic region, sort of central and towards the bottom of my shoulder blades. Both worse when lying on my L side and only present during my period.

I thought maybe the back pain was related to lying in bed during my period, but it is a very specific type of pain that I am now just realising is only there during my period.

Obviously this is something to be checked with my specialist, but does anyone have any history of lesions outside the pelvic cavity and can tell me about symptoms etc.? Thanks =D

Endofound posted this article https://www.endofound.org/the-connection-between-pelvic-pain-childhood-trauma-a-medical-student-tells-her-story?fbclid=IwAR3gapXA0mY-Pbhj43Yj5uepaQ2VuFWsHqY6ZcvP2ynsotNbfYflqvqerks where a medical student talks about the link between negative childhood experiences and having endometriosis.

I’m so annoyed that medical science keeps searching for psychological causes of endometriosis.

It’s not even good science. There have been studies that have found that endometriosis is found in fetuses. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20471320/ This study suggested that endometriosis can be caused by dislocation of primitive endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity during organogenesis and not by risk factors that even occurred during her life.

My personal thought is that this seems like a confirmation bias-if you have endometriosis you might be more likely to mention that you experienced a childhood trauma then someone who is seemingly healthy.

We need more doctors and researchers who are science based and less of this. It’s disappointing that a doctor today would still look into psychological factors into what is a physical disease. I don’t see other diseases being analyzed this way-do we ask if Type One Diabetics were sexually assaulted? Do we ask if thyroid cancer patients were?

Medical gaslighting is a separate but real issue.

so i really want to offer pelvic floor massage in the future as a service. i've tried going on the amta website to see how to get there, what certifications i would need and what ce courses are offered. i did not find any answers there, or scrounging google. i know that pelvic floor therapy is a thing that people offer, and how beneficial it can be for those who need it. so my question to any pelvic floor specialists out there, how and where did you learn pelvic floor? what am i missing to make this happen?

I’m not one to post my personal info online. This is very very TMI but since the majority of you also have EDS maybe it will be an interesting learning lesson for some of you lovely ladies out there! I hope this may be able to help someone in some way! This gal had a full hysterectomy back in 2019. After about 2 weeks I started having major problems no one could figure out! 🤔🤔🤔 Finally got answers in 2021 unfortunately the diagnoses came too late. I was diagnosed with HEDS. Unfortunately my whole pelvic cavity collapsed taking my bladder,colon and rectum with it. Yesterday I had major reconstructive surgery to correct the damage. To all you beautiful woman out there if you feel something is not RIGHT! Keep fighting!!! YOU KNOW YOUR BODY!!! I had went to so many doctors who told me I was fine and it was all in MY HEAD! Until I started losing function of my bowels and bladder! THATS WHEN THEY STARTED TAKING ME SERIOUS! Which is truly heartbreaking! I am looking at this as a new beginning to finally get my life back on track! Thank you so much to all of you in this group! Your friendship and support means more to me than you could ever know! I love you all so much! Please don’t forget to smile this gal is ROOTING FOR YOU!😘💨❤️

Pun intended? Anybody with pelvic pain here? Just looking to commiserate!

I have endometriosis which basically means that foreign tissue grows in my pelvic cavity where it shouldn’t grow, and it creates a lot of inflammation and pain. I’ve been doing better after excision surgery, but I’m trying to get to the root of some ongoing chronic pain that I’m experiencing, since my surgeon doesn’t think it’s endo-related.

There are a lot of generators of pelvic pain that can coexist with endometriosis. It’s so tricky because there are a slew of muscular, nervous, urinary, and bowel disorders that can cause pelvic pain. A lot of these symptoms overlap and I have no idea how to get to the bottom of it without seeing a million specialists and getting lots of expensive testing. And inflammation in one area can irritate the whole pelvis, so it’s a puzzle figuring out what’s causing what!

It could be:

• Endometriosis
• pelvic congestion syndrome - a vascular condition where veins are compressed, leading to chronic pelvic pain
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• irritable bowel disorder, like Crohns or ulcerative Colitis
• Celiac disease (I didn’t know this could cause PP, but I guess it can since it messes with your intestines and bowels!)
• Interstitial Cystitis (a bladder condition)
• Pudental Neuralgia (a nerve condition)

I’m sure I’m missing a few. Can anyone relate?

TL;DR Pelvic pain has so many causes- how do you figure out what’s going on?

Firstly, I want to go and say that I believe HF can have multiple causes, and because trying to ask and find out what causes HF is like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands in murky waters, I'm not going to spew out absolutes at you and say that "this is the cause of HF for all individuals". We don't have medical professionals actually evaluating or even recognizing the existence of HF. And there is a lot of disagreement in this community as to what actually can and can't cause HF or what is even wrong with the body in the first place. So, remember this is just a theory. Despite it "just being a theory", though, don't just disregard it as moot or become entirely hopeless because it's a theory. That's just foolish, and I myself have had to learn to stay optimistic regardless of how it seems. And lastly, I'm not a doctor, so don't give me fucking lengthy speeches about your theory of biology and how the human body works. I let the studies do the talking for me and draw conclusions based off of associations and patterns. So for the love of god, do not ask me or press me about "x" medical theory or concept because it doesn't line up with your "y" theory or concept. Don't try to dismantle somebody's argument because you can't cope with the fact that you might not know what you're talking about. If you have an issue regarding biology and human body theory, I'll happily leave that up to the scientists and doctors to explain. Because if I try to, I'll just look like a fool doing so and make it seem like my theory is invalid.

Now that I've given you a fair, lengthy disclaimer, I shall begin.

HF can be caused by pelvic floor dysfunction. There is no doubt that there is a correlation between pelvic floor dysfunction and HF in some individuals. Others (anecdotally) claim that not so much. This is a pelvic floor related theory, though, and that will be the main focus of this theory and what the cause of HF can be for some individuals, not all. I cannot stress this enough. It's like saying "I have a knee injury". Did you fuck up your ACL, MCL? Tear your meniscus? Minor sprain or major fuckup? Is it even related to the joint or more muscular? My point is that there are a number of causes for a "knee injury", the only difference being that we have all had different circumstances and events that have led us to having this knee injury. So, I will state that this is just a theory for one cause of HF that might also branch off into a number of other poten

I’m 30F and have endometriosis, a disease where tissue grows in my pelvic cavity in places it doesn’t belong. Unfortunately this has led to some digestive issues and symptoms that overlap with Celiac (bloating, etc.), but I read that people with endometriosis have a higher incidence of being diagnosed with celiac. I’m afraid that the doctor will think I’m a hypochondriac, but should I get screened for celiac?

I know that some of my symptoms could be caused by endo, but I want to be thorough and make sure there’s not something else going on. After eating gluten sometimes I’ll feel heavy, tired, and somewhat bloated. I usually avoided breads and pastas because I didn’t like the way they made me feel, although I moved in with my SO and I’ve been eating more of these products and feeling worse. (He’s Italian so it’s hard to avoid the gluten!).

Sometimes my joints will feel sore too. (I had a Mini Wheats kick a while ago and I noticed that my gums felt inflamed and the joints in my hands felt stiff when typing.) I haven’t had any diarrhea but I do have some bowel/rectal discomfort. When I get blood drawn, usually my WBC is slightly elevated.

I didn’t feel these symptoms during pregnancy, but I’ve read that autoimmune conditions can be dormant during pregnancy. Do any of hear symptoms sound like celiac and should I get tested? What’s my next step? If you made it this far, thank you for reading and helping me get this sorted out!

Do your worst!

1. I hear metallic footsteps and I freeze in fear. I look behind me and... I see Roxanne. She slowly approaches me, but I can't move, I fear too much what she'll do to me. Will she pounce on me and rip me to shreds, will she toss me around like a chew toy, or will she bring me to that Cursed Night Guard. I meet her eye to eye, but something seems different about her... She flashes her teeth at me and then I see it. She has realistic gums, and... did I see a fleshy tongue? She looks directly at me and opens her mouth, and my suspicions were right. She had a fully organic Mouth, with a Uvula and everything. It's, disturbing, but somehow Inviting. I'm entranced by her throat, it seems like it'd be warm and soft. What seemingly was an hour for me was actually 3 seconds and after said 3 seconds, Roxanne lurches forward, and my face is covered in her saliva. With what little light coming in through her mouth, I could manage to see her esophageal entrance, until she swallows once, pushing my face into it. I hear her stomach growling and Groaning, almost inviting me to enter. Roxanne gets on her knees, pushing me further inside her, now from my head to my elbows were crammed into her Esophagus. It was too dark for me to see, but my eyes were slowly adjusting. She swallows again, and as if a vacuum was inside her, I was pulled in deeper this time, My Head was just above the entrance to her stomach, my knees and downward were the only thing that weren't inside her yet. It was quite uncomfortable until she rears her head up. And with one final swallow, I slowly but surely descend her throat, before being curled up in her stomach. There were no acids, instead what appeared to be a Lubricant, pooled at the bottom of the chamber. From inside, I hear her say: "I bet you're my Number One fan, huh.". Truth be told, I was always fond for Roxy, the fact of the matter was that the Night Guard was chasing me down, and I heard something from within Freddy that She had told Roxanne and the others. While this I did not expect, I still glad that I wasn't ratted out. I respond to her with a simple "Definitely". 14 Minutes pass, and now besides the constant clanking of her feet against the floors, my Ears are accompanied by the faint sounds of the Security and Service robots, probably looking for me. Soon she stops walking, and then I hear HER voice. I can hear her voice a bit clearer compared to the other exterior noises. "So, I see you've used the upgrades given to you, I suppose

That issue is misogyny in medical care and other professions.How many women have been patronized, ignored, and abused by medical professionals?

Usually it's something like a doctor ignoring your pain, even if it is the most extreme pain of your life, because of course you are just a whiny, attention-seeking girl or woman with low pain tolerance and nothing is actually wrong with you.

Or it's a doctor doing shit like refusing to prescribe birth control pills to a teen or 20-something unless they get to stick their fingers in their vagina first, even though the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated 20 years ago that there is no medical need for pelvic exams to be performed on young women seeking hormonal birth control.

Or going to the ER while bleeding internally, and being made to wait 5 hours for a cat scan at the EMPTY ER, even though the blood is visually draining from your face and you are fainting when you stand, and your stomach is slowly growing more and more distended as the blood gathers in your abdominal cavity, because of course you are just a whiney girl who just has cramps or bad gas instead of, you know, a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst that is bleeding uncontrollably and will require emergency surgery and blood transfusions.

Or it's the psychiatrist who is re-diagnosing you with ADHD (re-diagnosing because the college you teach at doesn't believe that your ADHD diagnosis could be real and is making you get re-diagnosed by a second doctor) asking you how long you've been overweight before stating that there are cheaper diet pills than adderall, and saying that it is impossible to have ADHD and an advanced degree so you MUST be lying about one or the other.

Or it's the doctor who tries to make you pass a pulmonary functions test over and over again right after you spent a week on a ventilator, and doesn't believe that you can't blow the minimum force required, even though you also just spent over a month with one lung fully collapsed and you have a tumor pressing on a major nerve, causing all your muscles to spasm uncontrollably whenever you inhale deeply, and they refuse to prescribe you appropriate painkillers because "there's nothing wrong with her chest".

Or they strap you down to the bed when you have a ventilator in, and don't communicate to you what meds they are giving you, don't give you access to a call button, and don't give you a method of non-verbally communicating with the nurses and doctors

Has anyone possibly had an ultrasound or MRI(or EMG) to specifically show the pudendal nerve and check for some form of entrapment. I have no idea if this is any kind of cause, I am just throwing out suggestions and trying to investigate all potential avenues. I've been doing physical therapy for over a year, stretches, and had trigger point injections intrarectally into the pelvic floor muscles without much success or relief(I probably am worse). I also have certain symptoms that would seem to point to a neurological dysfunction of some kind like intense tingling down the legs and in the feet which is correlatively triggered when having bowel movement especially, but sometimes just sitting. From a paper published in April of this year on 'Pudendal Nerve Entrapment Syndrome' in the NCBI journal:

"Anatomy of the Pudendal Nerve:

The pudendal nerve emerges from the S2, S3, and S4 roots' ventral rami of the sacral plexus. It carries sensory, motor, and autonomic fibers; however, an injury to the pudendal nerve causes sensory deficits more than motor. It courses between two muscles, the piriformis and coccygeus muscles. It departs the pelvic cavity through the greater sciatic foramen ventral to the sacrotuberous ligament. It passes medial to and under the sacrospinous ligament at the ischial spine level to re-enter the pelvic cavity through a lesser sciatic foramen. The pudendal nerve then courses in the pudendal canal, which is also called the Alcock canal. The three last branches of the pudendal nerve terminate in the ischioanal fossa. These are the inferior rectal branch, perineal branch, and dorsal sensory nerve of the penis or clitoris. However, there are case reports which have shown variability in the anatomy of the pudendal nerve.[2][3]"

It really does, I swear!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

I’m 42. I first started writhing in pain during my period when I was 11. At the age of 25, I had my first surgery for ovarian cysts. Afterwards, the doctor said, “You have some endo in there. It’s not a big deal. Just stay on your birth control. You’ll be fine.”

I had been trying to get off of birth control since I was 21 because I don’t tolerate it. I tried to tolerate it for a few more years, gained 40 pounds, lost hair, was miserable from nausea, breast pain, etc without making my period symptoms any better.

I had more imaging done. Was told “it’s just endo. There’s nothing we can do except give you birth control.” I refused to take it any longer at the age of 28 and asked to have my tubes tied. Doctors refused because “you’re young. You’ll decide you want children. You’ll regret the procedure.” I told them I’d adopt. They then called in my husband and refused to do the procedure if he disagreed with it. He thought he might want kids someday so that was that.

Fast forward another several years. Years of pelvic ultrasounds, MRI’s, tests for STI’s, unbearable pain, and the constant rebuttal from doctors “it’s just endo. All we can do is give you birth control. Have you tried ibuprofen and a hot pad?”

In 2013, I was having horrendous back pain. I went through a dozen different MRI’s, ultrasounds, and CT’s. All the doctors said “there’s nothing wrong with your back. Try an anti inflammatory and PT.” I finally went to my ND. She ordered the same images all the others had. When she called me in, she said “it’s not your back.” I had bilateral complex ovarian cysts. Both of my tubes were swollen and covered in cysts and fatty tumors. There was evidence of stage 4 endometriosis, and she said I most likely had adenomyosis.

I had surgery 5 months later to remove both tubes and left ovary plus endo from my bladder, bowel, and throughout my abdominal cavity. The surgery and days in the hospital cost $30,000. They put in an IUD that made me ill and then removed it 6 weeks later.

The heavy bleeding and pain became even worse within 5 months of surgery. I’m now spending 7-10 days in bed every month crippled by pain, dizziness, horrendous bleeding, and nausea.

6 years after that surgery, I finally found a specialist willing to see me, and he asked me to send him all of the medical records going back to 2013. I received several of those records, today.

Going back as far as 2013, and most likely further, every report was the same. Adenomyosis, severe e

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
