Hi!!
I am new here and this is the first time I have posted.I am only 28 and
have had three children.I started having problems after I had my tubes
tied in Sept/03.My peroids would be horrible.Mainly with Cramps.I felt
like something was ripping on my left side.Several times they checked to
see if I had ectopic Pregnancy.Then My Dr tells me That he thinks I have
Endo.Now I was a little puzzled at the Dx as I did not have any trouble
getting pregnant.But,I was deperate for releief.Our youngest child had
just been dx with a life threatening illness and is still very ill I had
to be well enough ti care for my children.SO I took my Gyn's advice and
had a Hysterectomy in Feb/05.6 days post op I developed a cellulitis in
the vaginal cuff was put back ibnt he hospital and treated.But I cont.to
have Vag.Bleeding and cramping.So weeks went by with My Dr telling me to
give it time.By the way my Hyst.was suppose to be Lap but I was cut
during surgery due to complications.So fianlly my husband stepped in and
was like you have to do something.SO in May/05 he put me in the hospital
and did another Lap of course he said he could even visualize the pelvis
for all the adhesions.So he cut me this time midline.He had to remove
both ovaries and tubes.I had adhesions all the way through the Abdominal
wall he said.Infact he told my husband he apologized for not doing
something sooner because he had no idea how I had even walked into his
office the day before.I felt better for maybe two weeks or so.Then it
all started again..The bleeding..Unbearable cramping and pain.They were
giving me Lortab 5.5 because I am allergic to alot and I was taking it
maybe two to three times a week when the pain got to be more than I
could bear.I have begged and pleaded with this Dr to find out what in
the world is wrong with me and ya know what he did??? Told me I was a
drug addict!!!! So I sucked it up and went to another GYN.Not to say I
was crushed because this was the farthest from the truth.I have child
that has to have 24/7 care!!! I am in Pain and caused by him.Oh and by
the way My Pathylogy report from my Hysterectomy showed no Endo!!!
Anyway the new GYN has been wonderful!!! He said look this is not OK you
can lead your life in this kind of pain we have to figure out what is
wrong.SO he had an MRI done.Which did show some Adhesions.Which I knwo
they don't always show up on MRI's so he just called me and said he
thought they should go in and remove them but here is where I don't know
what to do.After reading what some of you all have been through is it
going to be a mistake to go back in remove them.I can't afford right now
to get any worse.We have to take our child to see a specialist out of
state in Mid December.What I am dealing with is bad enough.What do I
do??? AM I the only one to be accused of being a drug addict?? That was
the MOST humiliating thing anybody has ever done to me!!! I swear labor
was not as bad as The waY I hurt some days!!! If anybody has any advice
PLEASE I desperate!!! Thank you!!!
