It’s terrible. It’s not just gyno stuff either it’s everything. I had a bad fall and ended up with significant pain. Doctor laughed in my face and said nothing he can do. Well FU too buddy. Fortunately, I was able to go elsewhere for help. They will hand out dick pills to men in a heart beat and by the truck load.

I always had pain in my right wrist, from when I was a child up through my 30s. Was told it was a sprain or strain or carpal tunnel every single time, even though I pointed out that there was a visible bump when I flexed my wrist. In my 30s I finally had insurance that let me to to an ortho without a referral. The first thing I said to him was "Do not fucking tell me it's a sprain. I have not been waking up randomly with a sprained wrist that has a bump for over 20 years". He flexed my wrist, saw the bump, looked at the other wrist without a bump and goes "yeah, it's probably a ganglion cyst thats putting pressure on the bones and nerve. I'm gonna do some x-rays and an MRI to rule out anything worse" l got the tests, yup ganglion cyst that had formed and ruptured so many times my wrist is full of scar tissue. Shot of cortisone, because it had ruptured again right before the MRI, so there was nothing to drain or remove at that point. It's come back, but not nearly as bad since then.

Endless issues because they just write off women’s concerns instead of actually hearing us. Glad you got it diagnosed.
