Hello everyone,
I saw my gyn today and he told me that he is very frustrated with the
pain being back so severe so soon after my last surgery{6 weeks ago}He
now wants me to see the G I Dr. again to rule out anything with the
bowel and intestines,And is sending me to a urologist and chronic pain
specialist.The problem now is getting the referrals from my primary care
physician.I called them today to ask for the referrals and told them
that if there was a problem I would like to talk to my P C .THe triage
nurse called me back a short time later and ask me who was sending me to
these specialist and why? I told her what is going on and she told me
that my gyn needs to send them a note telling them Why he wants me to
see these Drs.,THen they would decide if I needed to see all of them.I
have to wonder what gives them the right to question what a Dr. wants
done? The last time I needed a referral they gave me a big run a
round.You would think I was asking for something personnal of thiers.I
did get the report from the last surgery which showed thin filmy
adhesions tenting the bowel and dragging it downward the descending
colon.There were multiple adhesions of the epiploic appendages and of
the sigmoid colon tenting this up and fixing it anteriorly and then
these adhesions went down the pelvic brim around posterior to the area
of the symphysis and up to the area of the right ovary .No wonder I was
in such pain.My gyn was very sympathic.He told me he wished he had a
magic pill that would take away all the pain.Any advice on going to any
of these Drs. would be appreciatted.
Thanks,
Peggy
