Question by honalie: Cervical cancer and pregnancy with lots of pain?
I have had precancerous cell’s for almost 2 years (since march of 08) I have had 3 biopsy’s and numerous pap’s. They went from low-grade to high-grade throughout that time, but for the past 6 months have not gotten worse. I have been putting off the LEEP procedure that they keep pushing for, because I wanted to have another baby and didn’t want an incompetent cervix to complicate the pregnancy. I have a 2 year old now that was premature. Didn’t want to go through that again.

But about 2 months ago I started getting sharp inter mitten pains that have increased with time. before it was every time I cough or laugh, now it is all the time. I had an appointment to get another pap and biopsy in Jan (this month) So 2 months ago I made up my mind to finally just go in and get the procedure done. Having those pains made it all a lot more “real” and I felt I waited long enough for results to change, and that I would worry a lot less to just go ahead and do it.

In the past 9 years, I have had 3 normal pregnancies and healthy children. While the pregnancies were all normal and complication-free, I had all the different feelings going through both my mind and body. Between muscle and joint pain, there is also weight gain (in my case, this was quite substantial) causing physical discomfort. I never considered that there was any way of gaining some relief. I now know there is! It is a pregnancy massage. I recently discovered (maybe too late for me) that this is an option when pregnant, in most circumstances.

During pregnancy, we have normal feelings of stress, anxiety, even anxiety, as well as happiness and anticipation. Knowing there is a human being growing within us, we try extra hard to take care of ourselves, as well as the baby. However, some of these feelings can be relieved by a wonderful massage.

This can reduce so many negative symptoms of pregnancy, including stress, depression and anxiety. We just have to make sure that we have the appropriate pregnancy specialists, also known as prenatal specialists. Proper positioning and special pillows are needed to support the growing baby during the massage. The specialist will know not to do any deep tissue massage.

Depression and anxiety are a normal part of the experience of anyone who experiences chronic pain. But that’s just the beginning. There are so many other aspects of your life that start getting affected. It’s the terrible triangle of pain, lack of sleep, and sadness. Depression and irritability lead to fatigue and bone weariness.  You are so sleepy all the time but you can’t get a good night’s sleep. You want to stop the pain and you want to get to sleep. All this trouble tends to lead to alcoholism, drug abuse, getting surgeries which are unnecessary, and family misery.

Your appetite may be gone or you may eat yourself silly with the pain and depression. It’s almost impossible for you to have any kind of social life because you have to be medicated to do much of anything.  As a result, you are no longer a part of your former world. You are less active and perhaps you start to gain weight.  You can’t exercise like you used to because it hurts too much. Then your clothes don’t fit.  Your life cannot be planned because you don’t know when your pain will flare up into a situation where you can’t know if you will feel up to going somewhere. That’s when you start to feel that there’s nothingbetter to look forward to. You are tired, irritable, and isolated.
