Nope, its not my appendix!  
I  
d asked a question earlier about pain in my upper right side.  
Well, it turns out its a small fibroid.  
I’ll be seeing my gyno Friday so, well see what to do about it.  
Anyone else have one?  
(guys only)…

Glad you are ok! I thought I had appendicitis once, went to the hospital so they could tell me it was a cyst and sent me home in pain. I think fibroids are not serious. . .but I have never had one. . . glad you are ok 🙂

I had fibroids really bad. They didn’t cause random pains, but they made my periods hellacious. I had them fixed almost exactly a year ago.
