[quote=Anonymous]Wow!  I feel compelled to reply to this post even though it's old.  I had a NovaSure ablation procedure done 1/15/2016 and felt great that evening.  The normal discharge they describe for about 2 1/2 weeks and then nothing.  I was on the high road to living a more simple life after having bleeding for months without stopping.

I didn't have a cycle, spotting, discharge or anything.  Fast forward to 3/21/2016 - roughly 9 weeks after surgery.  I am getting the worst cramps ever - especially after urinating.  I passed it off as a UTI, began to drown myself in cranberry juice and blew it off since my symptoms got better for about a day or so.

Then on Saturday 4/1/2016 I had cramps so bad that I looked up my local Urgent Care facility and went to the them the next morning as soon as they opened.  They took a urine sample, no UTI and not pregnant.  They gave me 3 Rx's for pain and a referral for an ultrasound and asked me to follow up with my GYN that Monday.  I went home, then got my nails done, had lunch with a friend and returned home.

While watching a movie with my husband that evening I began to cramp and took a Motrin 800.  2 hours later no relief.  As a matter of fact, the pain got worse.  I went to try to lay down in the hopes that would relieve the pain, no dice.  It continued to get worse.  I got dressed and my husband took me to the ER.  While there I was given an IV and a dose of Morphine.  the Morphine did nothing for the pain!  All it did was make me feel relaxed/high.

I continued to complain and they gave me another dose of Morphine - again, no relief from the pain!  I know this has to be completely unbelievable for you all to read, but let me tell you, it's unbelievable to me and i went through it.  I got an ultrasound which I was told looked "normal". and I again requested more pain meds.  This time they gave me a pain med cocktail of Torodol and something else that I cannot remember.  This also relaxed me and did barely help with pain.  I was so tired and sleepy, and by this time, midnight was approaching.  I was told that I couldn't go to sleep because I wasnt breathing deep enough and my oxygen levels were dropping, so they began to give me oxygen and had my husband wake me every 5 minutes to remind me to breathe.

My GYN was finally called in and told what was going on.  He did a vaginal exam and told me to put up my index finger when it hurt where he touched.  As soon as he touched my cervix I was in the worst pain ever and I wanted to jump out of that bed!  I requested  a 4th dose of pain meds after that and I finally began to get a small bit of pain relief, but not without the side effect of severe nausea.  I was set for surgery at 2:30am to drain everything from my uterus along with a D&C.

Honestly, I talked to my Dr prior to having NovaSure and the things that could go wrong, and I knew that tissue could be missed or grow back, however, i didn't know it could get trapped and cause excruciating and debilitating pain.  I have an appointment with my GYN in 2 weeks to follow up from surgery.

At this point I am no longer fighting the idea of a hysterectomy.  There is no way in hell that I would ever want to go through what I just went through again, just for the sake of a womb I will never again use.  I don't blame my GYN for what happened.  It wasn't his fault the procedure didn't work for me.  Things happen.  I'm just onto the next step.

I posted here to tell what happened to me and maybe help someone else who could be going through the same thing I went through but is blowing off the symptoms like I did.  If you are having those severe cramps and little/no period, PLEASE see your GYN right away!  Don't put it off.  [/quote]
