Some suggestions please

Hi. My name is Ashley. Im 26 years old and have a history of fibroids and endometriosis. I had surgery a few weeks ago to remove some of the fibroids and endo. The doctor said that should help my pelvic pain. It hasn't and its worse. My cramping is terrible that I've been taking more of the dosage recommended by my doctor of pain medicine to get rid of the pain. I have to take 2 Lortab 7.5s every 4 hours to feel normal. I don't know what to do anymore. I have a 17 month old daughter and am miserable without pain mess. Im starting to get really stressed out and anxious and depressed from all this crap. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

That would be my suggestion as its not getting any better. You seem to be in a lot of pain and if you are you should go.  

I know it took me 4 weeks plus to start feeling better, the pain was intense but it did subside after a while

Northendrome. I know I spelt that wrong. No cost if I go to the ER. They would just bill me and the Medicaid would back up and pay it. I guess if I get bad I will go.

Lupron I agree with its terrible and wasnt suggesting that you took it, just wondering if they offered you to take something.

The pill that you were on what was the name of it?

Do you have to pay if you go to the hospital to check it out? Sorry I live in Canada and I am not sure how that stuff works there when it comes to the hospital.

He suggested Lupron but I have no insurance right now plus what I read about it I don't think I want to go on it. I've been on the pill and its stopped my bleeding but not the cramping which is 247. I try a bath, heating pad, rest. Nothing helps but two 7.5mg of Lortab every 3 hours. That's not normal!

It takes some time to recoup from surgery, sometimes up to 4 weeks.  

Did the doctor give you any meds such as Lupron with add back therapy, or did he ask you to go on the pill continuously?

I totally understand what you are going through. My daughter was young when I had my surgery. The best thing to do is get as much rest as possible, maybe have someone take your daughter for a few days while you are recuperating.  

do you have a heating pad you can put on your stomach?
