i've just found this forum (thank God). i've been SICK and in pain
since March with debilitating upper abdominal pain that i KNOW to be
caused by adhesions.
i've "had" the usual. surgeries for endometriosis. fibroids.
pre-sacrel neurectomy. and finally a hysterectomy that stopped by
pelvic pain for good.
now........it'upper abdominal. under my right breast - underneath my
rib.
my gallbladder was 'taken' in 1999 - and i SWEAR it's adhesions.
i've had the tests. been in the hospital three times for tests. and
EVERYTHING is coming up empty. i've already seen two surgeons - even
the guy who took my gallbladder out - and they ALL refuse to help. my
GI docs have given up on me and they want me to see a shrink.......(DAMN
- that make me MAD)........
so. last week i went to a pain specialists who REFUSED to see
me........didn't want to get invovled. can you
imagine?.................(what a JERK)
in the meantime - i'm taking morphine - codiene - for the pain and am
just
SLAYED by the pain.
my only HOPE is to see my GYN who has done about 10 surgeries on my thru
the years.........................
how in the HECK do i convince these weenie doctors that i need some
relief and it is spelled........L..a..p..e..r..o..s..c..o...p...y!!!
any words of HELP are really needed!!
thanx!!
