I've been dealing with chronic pain in my lower back and right hip down to my big toe for eight months. I've seen orthopedics doctors, neurologists, physical therapist, and the pain has grown excruciatingly worse. The pain is mainly weight bearing. The MRIs & x-rays found absolutly nothing. Pain pills are all doctors have to offer me but they do absolutly nothing. It really sad that doctors can't find anything accept a large mass(fibroid) on the lower right of my uterus. I asked my obg gyn if the fibroid could be causing the pain. He told me no. Well, six months later, no answer for the pain insight, I've decided to have that dreaded hysterectomy just to get relief from having to go to work limping and suffering from pain all day. After reading your story and many of the replies, I'm praying that maybe it's a fibroid that's pinching a nerve and s;dp that there is no permanent damage to the nerve. Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you Ariel for sharing your story and making this space available to others. I also was diagnosed with a 3-4cm fibroid ( and a few smaller ones ). I found out about them after being sent to the hospital for a blood transfusion. Constant profuse bleeding had caused anemia. I immediately changed my diet- my husband and I were used to having large quanities of ice cream every day - and I Love chocolate! Neither of us are overweight though surprisingly:) We got rid of the ice cream and chocolate - which turns out to have estrogen mimicking habits- which helps the fibroid to grow! I started using natural progesterone and taking chasteberry tincture to regulate hormone production. Well it worked! for 6 months I had no symptoms to speak of and was feeling very healthy- then... we fell off the wagon and for the last 3 months we have been indulging like old times. I guess you never really get away with anything:) Because the last 3 days I have been having symptoms exactly like the ones you all have been describing! Back pain, pain in the hips- down the leg. Time to clean out the cupboard again. The question I had for ya'll is- did your fibroid ever cause a low grade fever or intestinal problems. ( I'm trying to rule out anything else ) I'd appreciate any feedback! Thank You , Becky Hi, I am so glad that I found this site!

I have been recently diagnosed with fibroids (multiple) one 9 cm and about 5 other smaller ones. I have always had very long and painful periods every since puberty 8 days being typical for me. I was actually just doing research on the internet as my Dr referred me to a gynecologist and I have agreed to have a myomectomy done on May 1st. I had been complaining to my Dr the past two years that I have been suffering from back pain (frequent bladder infections and now tingling/numbness in my stomach). she had done various test and found nothing wrong with my bladder nor my kidneys but my pain had persisted. I finally had an ultrasound done since my pain in the abdomen now was ocurring outside of my periods to reveal that yes I have a very large fibroid the size of a baby's head or like me gynecologist refers to now the size of a foot ball. I look in the mirror and look as if I was 3 months pregnant??? I'm a little scared about the operation as it will be my 1st (no children yet). I'm 34, I work out but even that now is hard for me to do. I'm finding myself constantly exhausted and tired, with little to no energy, and I do hope to be able to have children soon. However now, sex is extremely painful and my Dr has told me that unless I get them out there's really no space for a baby., but I was informed that once the operation takes place the pain should vanish. I really don't feel like my regular self but at least now i now that it will be soon that I'll be back to something close to normal. :) Sincerely, Janine Hi Ariel,

I purchased some of my songs to test it and months later my account still shows zero sales. i can't get a response from customer service. i just want them off myspace. i'm so frustrated at this point.

I've pretty much left the acrylics behind, too, as I kept having issues with lifting. I've been doing more harp playing, so am staying on the short side with my nails. Your nail hardener routine sounds like it would be worth a try! Thanks for the tip! I’ve pretty much left the acrylics behind, too, as I kept having issues with lifting.

Then I had tried super gluing fabric onto them - the glue was eating away at them! After which I decided on nail hardener; went through various brands and makes until settling on Sally Hansen Diamond Strength, which is apparently made with real diamond dust. A couple coats of this stuff leaves a pretty tough shell that is resistant to wearing down, even under the onslaught of rasgueados and abanicos. :-) The only bummer is that it doesn't like being filed, it will start lifting as a result, but when it's applied fresh and unfiled it's great.
