Subject: Endo/Adhesions partial blockage?
Hi All:
--
I am new to this site. I will try to be brief. About 9 years ago, I
started with stomach problems. It turned out to be recurrent ovarian
cysts and Endo. After 8 surgeries, one being a partial hysterectomy,
leaving one ovary, I am still having problems. The newest started 10
days ago. I started with pain on my left side for one day then nausea
for 6 days, then a fullness and bloating in my upper stomach. I am not
able to eat any solid foods without being extremely uncomfortable. The
doc put me on Zofran for nausea and Zantac for acid reflux. I went to
family doc today because I was scared it was something more serious.
Found extreme pain on right side when he pressed on it. He would have
said appendicitis if I would have had a fever and vomiting but instead
with my history, he said probably adhesions and probably needed surgery.
My gynecologist sent me to a GI doc who I see tomorrow. Had blood work
done today, will have answers to that tomorrow also. I think I have a
partial blockage. The reason I say that is because the fullnes in the
top of my stomach seemed to ease up and then the cramping started. Then
the fullness returns a little later. That has happened twice now. Has
this happened to anyone else. Please Help.
Sue
