For years, Katie Uhl dealt with pain in her abdomen.

"At my core, I knew something was wrong," Katie said. "Since my teens, I always felt pain and I just thought it was normal."

Katie was referred to Dr. Kevin Jensen at the Utah Endometriosis Center at MountainStar Healthcare's St. Mark's Hospital. Just days after she met with the endometriosis specialist, surgery was scheduled. Her body was so riddled with the disease, endometrial-like tissue had spread extensively throughout the pelvis and beyond, including on her diaphragm.

"You’d think post-surgery you’d be in pain, but I had felt better than I had in like 10 years," she said.

A can happen after a hard hit to the head or a sudden jolt that causes the brain to move inside the skull. 🧠

Because some symptoms show up right away — and others may not appear for hours or even days — it’s not always easy to know when to simply rest and when to seek medical care.
