I have been dealing with worsening adenomyosis for 3 months and treatments have not worked, so I am considering surgery. I relocated for a senior role, but the severe weather has made my symptoms worse, leading to sick leave. I asked HR to work from home during painful episodes but was told I must be onsite due to my position. I recently saw a posting for my role and I am worried about losing my job in this job market. P.S: I am only 4 months into the job.

My advice is to request medical leave. I was at Deloitte for a long while and did not need to request a leave but I assume They have a robust medical plan like PwC where I had to take a significant time leave due to major surgery. And I am sure the job posting is not your specific job! Godspeed recovery to you

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I had surgery 10 years ago for endometriosis and fibroids, and had issues for years prior to surgery. I wasn’t in such a senior role back then but still relatively senior, and found it very difficult. I’m not sure what you’re asking specifically but just wanted to share that I empathise and understand, and hope you find a path through this. The chronic pain is so debilitating and it’s hard to do an intensive job at the same time, especially when worrying about job security.

Go to your medical doctor and see about getting a medical leave and get treatment for it. I had chronic pain and endometriosis and cysts. My male doctor told me it was premenopausal and I would suffer thru the pain monthly. I started getting chronic inflammation and hives daily. The pain was intense and I seeked out and found a female gynecologist who helped me with a hysterectomy. No more pain, hives or hormonal problems. Never stop advocating for yourself
