ovarian fibriods and unable to take any meds

I have just been diagnosed with pcos because a "forest" of fibroids was found in my ovaries, but the issue is I can neither take bc nor spiro to control the symptoms bc they cause crippling migraines. I am basically in constant pain, and my drs do not want to do any sort of surgery as I just turned 25. Is there anything else I could take to alleviate the pain at the very least?

HI,
If surgery is not the option for you and also you are not able to tolerate drugs, then you have to rely on symptomatic treatment of pain. This can be done with help of anti-inflammatory agents, NSAID’s, antifibrinolytics etc. Consult your Doctor.
Hope this helps.
