I Was Sent Home Only 4 Hours After Endometriosis Surgery: Katie Flynn

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to never miss an episode of It’s Not Just A Period Podcast. Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period! Joining the girl chat this week is Katie Flynn, who waited 18 years to be diagnosed with endometriosis, PMDD, chronic pain disorder and painful bladder syndrome. In her mid 30’s, Katie was referred to a gynaecology and met Mr James Tibbott at Leeds Hospital who was about to change her life as she knew it. Despite having a diagnostic laparoscopy with excision removal, Katie’s pain did not improve and her symptoms continued to escalate. Katie shares what it was like to take part in a ground breaking spinal cord stimulator trial, how it transformed her quality of life and the life changing decisions she faces next.
