Good morning to all my friends in this group that have always been here to
help me. For the past three weeks now, i have been experiencing the worst
pain i have ever had. I have been living with adhesions now since 96 and
have had bad pain episodes but none as bad as recently. So bad in fact that
it sent me to the emergency room last week. Of course after every test and
xray under the sun, everything came back fine. Once again i went home after
being looked at like i was crazy and some iv pain medicine, nothing is wrong
with me. I went to see my wonderful pain doctor yesterday and i told her how
i have been having a horrible time with the pain lately and she gave me these
actiq lollipops. she said that they should keep me from having to go to the
er as frequently. I just wanted to ask if, and im sure that some of you have
the same problems that i do, have experienced this most horrible right sided
pain. At times its so horrible that i could just curl up in a little ball and
not move because it hurts so bad. Its a weird pain though because when i am
lying down i feel it in the front, when i am standing i feel it in my back
and when i am sitting it feels like its right under my ribs but, if i try to
feel around for where its coming from, it all seems to be in one spot in my
lower pelvis. When i have had adhesions removed, three times now which is a
very small amount compared to some of you, they tell me that all my adhesions
are in my upper abdomin and just a few in my lower pelvis. if that is true
than why dont i have more pain in my upper abdomin. Just in case you dont
remember my story, i had a burst ovarian cyst in 96 which ended me up in the
hospital for a week stay and a 104 temp which they couldnt control until they
finally opened my up and found that, i had a burst ovarian cyst which bled
inside me and caused peritinitis. I didnt find that out until three years
laters, after living with this terrible pain and all the doctors saying it
was all in my head. of course since then I have had 11 surgeries and all my
female organs are now gone, why do i continue to live in pain??? And, i have
been turned down by social security twice now and am getting ready to go into
the hearing stage. the first time was because the rep went on vacation as
soon as she got my claim and i was turned down 4 days after she returned.
she admitted to me herself that she never even looked at it and lied to me
about the fact that she had sent letters out to my doctors. could someone
please help me? i am getting very scared.
thank you, your friend always,
