STORYTIME | SURGERY AGAIN, ER HORROR STORY, HUGE OVARIAN CYST

[@chaday7]

Nik, please know I am lifting you up in prayer as you prepare for surgery. May God give you peace and may He touch the hands of all who will be involved in removing those cysts from your body, and I pray it’s a successful surgery and great recovery. Thank you for always keeping it real with us and sharing so much important information that us black women need to know. Many blessings.

My doctor describes 10 cm as the size of a baby's head. I had a 10cm fibroid and could literally feel it in my body thru my skin, depending on where it was positioned. I hope your surgery goes well. Here's to being healthy and pain free in 2024! 🥂

Baby's head😧🫣😫

[@summer5138]

Nik, I'm praying for your complete healing in the name of Jesus Christ and a speedy recovery. Thank you for being so candid and for sharing. ❤🙏🏽

[@jayrogers7779]

Good luck Nik, thanks for sharing! Also, although it is the person's job to help people, I would personally pull that person aside or try to contact the person to let them know that they are exceptional regarding their care/compassion for people. There are so many medical workers/doctors who treat people like a number and do not provide the care patients deserve.

[@dianew7058]

Thank you for sharing. When you described your pain and experience in the ER I was feeling it and writhing like it was me. I'm sorry you're going through this, I'm so sorry. I will lift you up in prayer. Blessings

[@ramonajacobs9402]

Thank you for sharing your experience Nik. Dealing with same situation where doctors just don't care, return calls, etc. I pray everything goes well for you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@mckdee1420]

GOD GOT YOU SIS..🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 BLESSINGS FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY 💪🏾🖤💃🏽💯

[@sking3225]

Hi Nik, I’m glad you got the thorough care that you needed and have the procedure scheduled. I really think you should pay a visit to that other Drs. office, or ask for the Dr. To call you so that you can let her know about the, now two times that you have experienced poor care and poor customer service from her staff. You can’t be the only one that this has happened to.

[@N1JBOOGFAN18]

I’m sorry u had to experience that I had a very very similar experience with an ER in 2012 when I had extreme pain due to a fibroid. I thought it was just a south Florida thing . Being from Minnesota I don’t remember medical care even in an ER being so bad! I am praying your surgery goes well and u have a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing your story it’s given me the boost to have things I’m afraid to check checked out❤

[@JustCallMeNik]

We only get this one body, one life. We have to listen to our bodies so we can live our best lives. Take care sis💕

[@latisewilson4561]

❤ 🙏🏽 Keeping you in prayer. Thanks for sharing your story

[@GoldhenChild]

Sending you so much love & healing. I am so sorry you had that experience (a similar experience is pushing me into healthcare to help stop that crap). Thank you for keeping up with us about it, hopefully your journey can help someone else!

[@beluved-tee]

I am so sorry you had to go through all that pain and messy medical experiences. I’m sending you healing prayers and positive vibes Sis! Thanks so much for sharing your story. 🙏🏿❤

[@Mzmona2023]

Praying all goes well with your surgery…OMG I love your party idea!!

[@tbrown7307]

Many positive thoughts!!!❤

[@SophiaD-o7u]

Thanks for telling your story. I had trouble getting my male primary doctor to listen to my symptoms. I had pressure on my bladder and an urgency to pee constantly, got a super unusual period that was ridiculously heavy and lasted 11 days, and then stopped getting my period all together and I could NOT get this doctor to listen to me. Turned out I had a massive cyst. What you said about going to a doctor that’s similar to you resonated with me, not just ethnicity but female doctors and OBGYN’s. Sorry to the male doctors, but they really really seem to brush a lot of woman’s symptoms (especially reproductive ones) under the table.

[@JustCallMeNik]

It's so frustrating when you're trying to advocate for yourself and you're not being heard. We've been living in this body our whole life so I think we would know best when something feels off. So sorry that was your experience (and sorry I'm so late replying). Thank you for sharing. I hope you're doing better now and you're getting the care you deserve!💕

[@sasha48189]

Im so glad to hear this I did an UltraSound and looked on my report I found out I have Ovarian Cysts on both Ovaries 3cm and I scared and terrified,,

[@JustCallMeNik]

Most of the time they go away on their own, usually within a few cycles. But unless they're causing you pain or discomfort you should be fine.

Hope everything goes well...🙏🏾 Prayers 2 you.

[@bettyap211]

Sending u prayers❤❤❤❤

[@randirenae]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Women’s health is not always discussed in our community, nor do medical professionals that don’t particularly look like us take us seriously enough to give proper attention and treatment. Hope you have a speedy recovery! ❤ Would you mind sharing the doctor’s office that you go to? I’ve had issues with finding a provider that I like in the area for similar reasons that you’ve stated. Thank you again!

[@patriciaduncan8276]

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry you going through this, I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you, I'm praying for you Nik

[@keannaivey8046]

Thanks for sharing. You have educated me some things.

[@rajingbutterfli]

❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing your experience 😢. I have had some similar issues in the past. We must advocate for ourselves because doctors are very passive these days unless you have the right one who cares. I pray that everything goes well with your surgery and that you heal well. 🙏🏾💛

[@eccentriclocs]

wow. Hope all goes well and you recover quickly. Your message is well received even more than you realize. Fear stops a lot of us from getting changes checked out. Tfs🖤

[@truevineproduction3013]

I know the pain you described. I had a ruptured cyst removed and the pain is exactly what you described. Praying for healing.

[@JustCallMeNik]

Thank you! No one should have to experience that. Sorry you had to go through it💕

[@outdoorswithfrontpagenate4322]

praying for you and glad you shared this.

Get well, you will be alright!

[@nyx4081]

I never heard about getting a doctor that has the same skin color as you. That has never even crossed my mind. Americans are weird sometimes.

[@JustCallMeNik]

Unfortunately in America, black people often experience implicit racial bias and systemic racism in healthcare. So yes, as someone, who I assume does not live in America, this may be weird or hard to comprehend. Peruse Google on the topic and maybe you will have a better understanding.

[@Proactiff]

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m thanking God in advance for a safe surgery and full recovery! Bless your current physician. She debunked my own recent desire for a doctor that looks like me; I want a physician that truly cares. I am in the market for a new one. May I email or message you someplace for a recommendation? I’m in the metro Atlanta area as well. 🫶🏾🙏🏾

[@JustCallMeNik]

Yes of course. Email me [e-mail]
