In some cases, women with fibroids do not experience any symptoms; however, in other cases, they do have the potential to cause complications. Subserosal fibroids, one of the four general types of fibroids, grow on the outside of the uterus and can expand to a point where they put pressure on other parts of the body. When they reach spinal nerves, they can cause back pain. This pain can be in the lower back area (often dull, heavy and aching, but may be sharp) and can create back pain that interferes with your daily activities. If you experience back pain that begins to impede on your dailiy activities, you may ask your doctor about prescribing over-the-counter pain relievers.

I am very interested in making an apt or whatever I need to do to qualify for one. 3 years ago I underwent a myomectomy, to remove a tumor the size of a grapefruit, and thought that my troubles were over. The recovery was long and I still have numbness in the lower abdomen area. I was just informed in late October that I have two more that are the size of golf balls. I experience extreem pain and passing of painful clots. Help. I am tired of hurting.

Thank you for your time,
