My Endometriosis Story: Middle

In my previous posts, I talked about how my gynecologist did not really do anything to help my situation.  Finally, the gynecologist thought there was something wrong with my pelvic floor muscles.  I went to physical therapy for four or five months but I knew there was still something else wrong.  We came to find out that I did have tight pelvic floor muscles but that was BECAUSE of my Endo.  I felt trapped inside my own body.  Like no one understood what I was feeling and I felt very alone.  I still feel like this sometimes but I am lucky to have great friends who always allow me to talk about it with them.  In research, my mother found that there is a clinic at Boston Children's Hospital specifically for teens with endometriosis.  This was amazing news for both my family and I.  Since we had been to so many different doctors that could not tell what was wrong with me, I was definitely ready to go to Boston.  Within minutes of being in my appointment, my doctor could tell me that I most definitely had Endo.  Of course, the only way to find out for sure was to do the surgery.  Stay tuned for the last part of my Endo story.  Thank you for reading!
