Today, I found out I have to have an operation. This will be the third in 3 years, all for completely unrelated reasons. I'm only 26 and apparently my body is already falling apart at the seams. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on top of learning that I have three discs pressing on my spinal column and a labral tear, I also found out my left testicle dropped, but not my right one. I'm nearly 40 and I need to see a urologist over this. After the surgeries to fix my spine and hip. FML
Today, I found out I need surgery for a hernia that blew up after working out. I’ve been working out constantly to keep my mind off of my ex, who was the right person at the wrong time, and now I can’t even do that. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a severe bladder infection that has left me in excruciating pain. A month ago, I had an ovarian cyst rupture. A few weeks before that, I badly sprained my elbow. Before that, I had the flu. I think my body is mutinying one organ system at a time. FML
Today, I passed a kidney stone. This is the third one in two years. I'm only 23. FML
Today, and over the past three months, I and four of my immediate family have been in hospital. Debilitating foot infection. Brain tumor. Urinary tract infection. Stroke. I just found out a few minutes ago my aunt just went in. I'm starting to think I'm going to be losing relatives any second. FML
Today, I found out that I have testicular cancer for the second time in two years, and they may end up removing my last testicle. Knowing full well I was also born with an extra rib, the doctor at the consultation joked, "Hey, you'll be three quarters of the way to being a woman." FML
Today, I finally sorted out my health insurance and went to the doctor. After seeing my X-rays and confirming I still had scoliosis, he also confirmed arthritis in both hips, 2 exploded discs and that I have "the back of a 50 year-old." I'm 24. FML
Today, after months of being told I have pneumonia by different doctors, I decided to go to another hospital with better staff. There I learned that I will actually need to have open heart surgery to replace two valves in my heart. FML
Today, after three years of being in physical pain, which affects my health and daily life, I was told it's an undiagnosable condition that I'll have to deal with for a long time, as there are no answers and no fixable solution. FML
Today, I went to the doctor thinking I had breast cancer. Turns out, I have a third boob. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can relate... bad back, bad veins, and more. I’m not even 30. Still, we find a way to deal.

25 total here. My body looks like it got mauled by a propeller.

I asked them to put some grease zerks in my knees when I went under the knife. The bastards didn't listen.

That isn't that bad. I've had 12 surgeries in my 28 years of life. First one when i was 18 months or less. And next month i am having a hysterectomy. 2 of them were heart surgeries.

I totally feel ya. Granted I've been chronically sick since I was a kid so by 26 I had had 6 surgeries. Mostly for my epilepsy. Now at 28 I'll get to add 2 more and possible a 3rd one sometime next year. But either way it sucks having your body break down so young. Hang in there OP!
