Any wear and tear injury experienced by a middle aged woman that’s not related to sports. It boggles my mind how doctors roll out the red carpet for my colleagues that have sports injuries but tear the same tendon from overworking it scrubbing floors and it’s just “wait and see” and long wait times for imaging and nothing for pain.

CPR. It is not what it looks like on TV. If you do NOT break ribs you are NOT doing it hard enough to beat the person’s heart for them. At that point we are not stopping your 93 year old Full Code grandma from passing, we are bringing her back to life just for her to feel all the pain of her broken, battered body until her body passes away a second time.

PCOS. People can't comprehend that someone can be overweight because their body does not process food correctly. It HAS to be my fault, because I'm fat and a woman. I've lost 15lbs in 3 months on a medication and my doctor immediately wanted to take me off it because "obviously diet and exercise are working." I'd changed nothing in my routine but the medication (bc I eat fine & exercise the recommended amount).  


If I go off the medication I'll experience debilitating hunger and constant nausea and lightheadedness if I don't overeat. Suddenly I experience hunger like a normal person and not someone with f*****g Prader-Willi.


But it's my fault, I should just have to suffer and be starving all the time bc I'm fat and that's my fault. 


Thankfully I found a less s****y doctor but that other woman should not practice medicine. She does not understand the basic concepts of the disease she runs a specialty clinic for. 


This isn't even going into how society treats you as an overweight woman. The dysmorphia, the guilt.

Menopause. Everything about it, and yes, that's even with hormone replacement.

Torsion of the ovary, testicle, or fallopian tube. Fallopian tube torsion was the condition that taught me that pain can be so bad you vomit.

Endometrosis and uterine fibroids - they are debilitating for many women but because they won't end you a lot of people are expected just to cope. It may affect up to 20% of women to varying degrees and the pain is often played down as "normal". If your period or ovulation time is causing you to cramp, bleed heavily, pass out or vomit see a doctor and get a referral to a gynacologist and keep pushing. Being out of commision for 2-5 days a month is not normal.

Depression physically hurts and its never really addressed.

Anything female health related.
