Okay, I have had bad pain for months now. I have had nine abdominal surgeries. The last three (most recent in Feb) due to complications from gastric bypass surgery I had in 2003. So I had another laparoscopy in Feb because my bariatric surgeon wanted to find the source of my pain. He didn't see anything. Just some adhesions which he removed, along with my appendix... so.. fast forward to recently. Really bad pelvic pain which feels like I have really really bad cramps all the time, and also lower left back pain. In the past week and a half I have been admitted to the hospital twice for pain control. My surgeon says that it is not surgical. While in the hospital, I had a CT with contrast, one without, a regular x-ray, and an intravaginal ultrasound. They found endometreosis, fibroids, and a small ovarian cyst (2.3 cm). Sooo my surgeon had a GYN come to the hospital for a consult. She did a pelvic, and said that I had an endometrial polyp, and should have an endometrial biopsy. So today, I went to the GYN's office of the woman who saw me. I saw her partner. He did a pelvic exam and told me that it was normal, my tests were normal, and my source of pain is not GYN related. I told him that I wanted a hysterectomy with all of the test findings, and the high cancer rate on my mom's side (I am 47). He said that no treatment was necessary for me.... so what the hell am I suppose to do now? Find yet another GYN? Just grin and bare the pain? Go back to my surgeon? Maybe the pain is just adhesions from all of my surgeries? I would think the latter, but with my test results I feel that I really should have a hysterectomy... I left the GYN's office in tears today... I feel so alone.....
