Patient Suffering from Delibating Pelvic Pain Finally Gets a Correct Diagnosis
In the viral TikTok — which has over 25 million views — a healthcare worker can be heard saying, "They found the reason for your pain that will be able to be treated." Crying, Mercer responds by saying, "They did? They really did? You're not lying to me? They found it? ... Finally — can I give her a hug?"'

A teenager whose terrible pain was dismissed for years as just ‘bad periods’ broke down in tears when a doctor finally diagnosed her with a chronic pain condition.
Since she first started menstruating, 19-year-old Johnelle Mercer, from Las Vegas, would experience horrible pelvic pain, heavy breakthrough bleeding, and other painful and uncomfortable symptoms.
But after years of suffering while her pain wasn’t taken seriously, Mercer was recently diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome, which is finally putting her on the road to treatment.
This is an underdiagnosed condition often overlooked in the medical community because of a lack of awareness of this disease.
