May Thurners Syndrome
I’ve recently been diagnosed with May Thurner’s syndrome. I met with the IR and we scheduled a venogram for a few weeks out.
I got the diagnosis after being referred to a vein specialist where they did a two hour long ultrasound from my shins to my rib cage 🫠 I’m told that the veins in my legs look good and I don’t have any varicose veins around my uterus. I don’t really have any swelling but I have had swollen feet before. It’s just not something that happens to me often. What I’m really struggling with is lower back pain, leg pain, hip pain, and pelvic pain (this one has since subsided but it was pretty bad when I started this journey for an answer)
Not sure what I’m asking for here, but I guess I need advice? I’ve been in pain everyday for 3 months. I elevate my legs, I wear compression socks, I use a heating pad, I take ibuprofen and Tylenol as needed. I’m tired of hurting. The venogram is scheduled for their earliest available time. My pcp doesn’t have any appointments until the end of the month but I scheduled with another doctor in the same practice for late next week. I sent my pcp a message and hoping he’ll get back to me Monday with some options? I don’t really even know what I’m asking for, I just want to stop hurting.
I have an active 2 year old and I’m a stay at home parent. This is making it so hard to keep up with her.
Any tips or just any one that relates to this?
