I'm a 29yo with chronic pelvic pain/hemmhoragic cysts on disability
(open medical coupon) w multiple surgical/adhesion history, I'm have
SEVERE ACUTE PAIN and need a good ob/gyn NOW who knows adhesions cause
pain and will help me find ways to reduce my pain and help me find out
what the heck is going on with me-fast
I live in Bremerton, wa. but will travel anywhere in puget sound for
the right doctor, the closer the better, though.
I've been having pain for about 3 wks, thought it was a cyst, had sex
and got SEVERE pain, went to ER thinking I had a ruptured/twisted cyst
but they did ultrasound/blood/pelvic and found zip. I thought maybe I
strained an adhesion or something and layed in bed for 2 days, got way
WORSE, went back to ER, they ran a CT, repeat U.S. & blood, again found
zip. I'm in severe pain, I can't eat(very nauseus), walk, no BM, they
said they didn't find an obstruction, I don't know what to do. I've
never had this much pain w/o something being seriously messed up. I
need a good doc asap. I have an 8yo and am a foster to another child
and I can't just stop functioning, but right now I can't even walk
around.
History-
I've had 10 surgeries, 8 laparoscopies/2 laparotomies, last one a
laparotomy 1yr ago. I've had corpus leuteum hemmhoragic ovarian cysts
that rupture/cause pain for 12 yrs, a reaction to a surgical product
causing adhesions/foriegn body reaction until removed in a laparotomy
7months later, 11cm mucinous cystadenoma tumor removed last year from my
r ovary (only one left, want badly to keep it, I'm engaged and we want
more kids someday) and my omentum was stuck in my lower pelvis for 2 1/2
yrs and released w a lysis of adhesions when I had the lap to remove the
tumor last year. I haven't tested pos for endo, but have had tissue
that looks like endo seen during surgeries which biopsies back negative.
I have chronic pelvic and I'm on a pain contract (I don't need a doc for
that, I have one). I've had my appendix, left tube and ovary removed.
I desperately need a doc FAST who wil take me seriously and help me find
out what is wrong now, and help me work on my chronic pain. There's a
LOT of ob/gyn's out there who think adhesions don't cause pain or blow
off women with gyn issues as headcases or whiners (of which I'm neither)
and I don't have time to roll the dice. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN,
PLEASE...
