Hi Meno Friends
This might seem a crazy post, but my health anxiety is in danger of going into overdrive. I'd been quite good, well in fact, very good, for several months and was starting to wonder whether the worst of this meno thing was over, although nowhere near the twelve months free yet. Anxiety is the worst thing, and I was diagnosed with fibroids but haven't had any pain from them for over a year (was getting bad ovulation pain).
Last week I fell over. Not unusual for me as I'm a bit clumsy. I landed heavily on my left side, on a concrete curb, twisted my right ankle, bruised my left shoulder and left knee, which has a big graze on it. Was hobbling about for a few days, knee still not healed. This coincided with a time when I was being quite clumsy - broke a glass, dropping things, and then I started to feel really down. One of our dogs had died two weeks before so I put it down to that. Saturday I had to help OH lift some bags of compost out of the car and I'm sure I tweaked my back with that forward stretching movement. Since then I have had a litany of aches and pains, in fact I feel like I ache all over and this horrible crushing sadness. Mostly the pain is in lower back, radiates down left leg, sometimes right leg, ribs and feet hurt too. Sometimes I get a pinching pain in my left side (not dissimilar to the old ovulation pain) but it is not constant. My anxious mind is trying to pin it on some ovarian issue, but my logical mind says that it is a muscle thing caused by falling over. I don't want to go to Dr, I know she will say it is muscular, and she has previously suggested I might have a mild form of fibromyalgia (sore pressure points). I wonder if there is a hormonal connection or could falling over have caused all this?
