Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Hi everyone, I haven't post in a while, but still read with interest your messages daily. I have a 18-week size fibroid uterus, had a myometomy four years ago, and within two years they were back. I''m 50 years old now and have been doing the " wait and see " method, hoping that menopause will take care of my fibroids soon. Recently, however, my regular sonograms have shown a larger-than-normal size endometrial lining, and therefor I'm scheduled to have a D & C this week. Several months ago I had an endometrial biopsy which was negative. In terms of controlling discomfort (pain) during and after the D & C procedure, can anyone give me advice as to what to do and/or take? Since I do not have anyone available to take me to the doctor's office or pick me up after the procedure, (my gyn is out of town so I'll have to travel to get there) will I be able to walk out and function fairly normally afterward? Thanks in advance, Barbara in NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 I've had 3 D & C's and there is no pain afterward so you shouldn't need any medication. If you do have any it should be very slight and probably Tylenol or Motrin would relieve any pain you are having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
