Cristina Brunetti, a 51-year-old woman from Jesi, has recently shared her story of triumph over a debilitating illness that threatened to take away her mobility. After years of suffering from unexplained pain in her left hip, Cristina was finally diagnosed with extrapelvic endometriosis and uterine fibroid.
Despite trying various treatments that proved to be ineffective, Cristina’s luck turned when she met Dr. Mauro Pelagalli, a gynecologist specializing in the treatment of endometriosis. Dr. Pelagalli’s expertise led to a referral for a more in-depth MRI in Mantua, where it was discovered that the endometriosis had infiltrated her left sciatic nerve.
Faced with the possibility of spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair, Cristina made the decision to undergo surgery with Dr. Marc Giocaver, a neuropelveologist in Zurich. The road to recovery was not easy, with the first six months post-surgery being particularly challenging. However, Cristina’s determination paid off, and she now walks normally and has regained control of her life.
Cristina’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking specialized care and not giving up hope in the face of adversity. She hopes that by sharing her experience, other women suffering from similar conditions will be inspired to seek the help they need to reclaim their health and well-being.
