Apparently My Back Has A Uterus

A body can tell the truth long before a chart does. We open up about years of “it’s just your back” verdicts, ER visits, and scans that never explained pain so intense it stopped life in its tracks. The turning point arrived with a clinician who listened, connected the dots between recurrent cysts and hidden endometriosis, and recommended the only test that really answers the question: surgery. What they found mapped perfectly to the pain—lesions across both pelvic walls and the perirectal area, effectively surrounding the waist and provoking those brutal back spasms.

We talk through why endometriosis is so often missed, how small ovarian cysts can ignite a flare even when they aren’t the root cause, and why removing healthy ovaries isn’t a quick fix. Expect clear, accessible language about excision surgery, recurrence risks, hormonal nuance, and the difference between coincidence and pattern. This is also a story about medical gaslighting: the quiet ways doubt creeps in when experts wave off symptoms, and the power of documenting, persisting, and finding the right specialist.

Between the heavy moments, there’s plenty of humor—salon drama, holiday beauty rush chaos, intrusive period thoughts, and the everyday mess that never stops ringing, even mid-record. If you’ve ever been dismissed, told to take a heating pad, or advised to “wait it out” while your body screamed otherwise, you’ll feel seen here. Press play for validation, practical advocacy tips, and a reminder that you are not difficult for wanting answers—you’re diligent. If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs back-up, leave a review so others can find it, and subscribe to catch what comes next.
