I had my first laparoscopy for endometriosis in 2000. About
6 months later, I started having pain in my lower back. It
started down the left left after 2 months, then the right.
I had my second lap in 2001. Since then, the pain has
only gotten worse. Standing for anymore than an hour
make the next day absolutely miserable. I have been
to countless doctors, none of which can help me.
My ob/gyn thinks because it's back pain, it must be
a back problem and sent me to a chiropractor.
After a month of 4 days a week, the chriopractor
suggested an ortheopedic surgeon. I got the MRI
before going, it showed that L1 - 5 were buldging,
but that shouldn't be causing that much pain.
After looking me over, I had no left ankle reflex,
so they gave me a cortisone shot.
That just made me feel worse, so when I went back,
he suggested epidurals. After getting two of those,
I felt better, at least for a month. My third one
was scheduled 3 weeks before my wedding. All I
wanted was to not have to take a Vicodin just to
survive my wedding day.
So, when the doctor came in an told me, he wasn't
going to give me another one, I lost it. He said
it's because they aren't helping like it should be.
He thinks it a gynocological problem. Back to
the ob/gyn, who can't for the life of him, figure
out why everyone thinks it's a "girl" problem.
He then suggest physical therapy. Why not? I've
tried everything else. Went to 3 visits, not a
single one helped, and from what I told them, and
what they felt, I had alot of scar tissue in the
front. Is it possible it's moved to the back and
pinched the nerve?
I need some help here. I'm 26 years old and
have been in pain for over 4 years. If not, I'm
just going to have to pop pills until my liver
explodes. Please help!!!!!
