I have read that fibroids can thicken endometrium. I know the pain makes it seem like it's something terrible, but it's because everyone minimized how painful fibroids can be. My old doctor told me fibroids don't cause pain.
I had so much pain that I could not even touch my abdomen. Just a light touch would be horrific and the pain spread through my pelvis and up around my side. My daughter was between 4 and 7 when my pain was the worst and I'd have to block her with my arms when she'd run up to hug me because my pain was so bad!
Do you know how big your fibroid is?
