I have an appointment tomorrow that I scheduled quite a while ago with the intent of discussing a surgery with my doctor that could be considered elective. Although I think I could get my insurance to pay for it. The doctor I am seeing is my gyno and the reason I am considering surgery is because I have suffered with endometriosis since I was a teenager. It's been more than 20 years now and my husband and I discussed having surgery for it as soon as we had good insurance, which is now. What we didn't plan was getting a CRPS diagnosis at the same time.

This may be a little much info for some, but it's relevant. My mom didn't start menopause until her mid-50's. That gives me another 20 years of this crap until I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm not looking for the bandaid surgery either, where all my symptoms can come back. This crap lays me up in bed for a day or two a month. I just want a doctor to take my stupid, useless uterus out. Boom! Done!

I had laproscopic knee surgery on my right knee (my left leg is my bad leg) and it didn't spread to my right leg. I'm wondering how terrible an idea it is to go ahead with the surgery if my insurance will pay. If I do it, it has to be this year because I'm already going to hit my out of pocket max for the year, and I so want this nightmare to end. Is there anything I can do to if going ahead with my plan to help prevent spread? Or is this just the worst idea ever and I should scrap it?
