I am sorry that you are going through this. I always get doors opened
for me, people stopping to let me cross the street, and people asking if
they can carry my groceries to the car---all because I look pregnant due
to 3 open surgeries for hyst and to remove adhesions. I do look
pregnant. I am going to see a chronic pelvic pain specialist on the
25th and hope I can get some relief there. Right now I am on MS Contin
twice a day and percocet 4 times a day and it is only taking the edge
off, but only if I don't do a thing! When I get home from the store, I
am in tears from pain. I can't work and I am filing for disability.
If this doc won't help you, you need to keep looking until you find one
that will, even if it doesn't mean more surgery. You need some relief
from your pain and I hope you find it soon. Please let us know what the
surgeon tells you. Good luck!
