6 years of misdiagnosis
by Normy871, Sep 29, 2002 12:00AM
I will try to make this as brief as possible.
6+ years ago My Wife gave birth to our first child by c-sect.
Since her health has been in decline. Many trips to the hosp. DR.s and test's,none of which were the right in my opinion. She started with seemed to be Gallbladder pain and constipation (this was never an issue before the c-sect).
When I say she had many test's I'm not kidding! years later she had our second daughter and the you know what hit the fan! constipation turned to diarrhea for a period of time
then went back to constipation, also in the last years she has had approx 4 periods and the pain went to a level 8-9
most of the time more tests.............. kept on diagnosed as irritable bowel. EASY WAY OUT. finally she had a hyda-scan and her Gallbladder was found to be not working. so they removed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then the pain was off the chart we insisted in a exploratory lap and the found the right side of her colon was up behind her hepatic gland then after the surgery they made her wait 2 wks to fix it and then found that they had to remove the whole right side. the path report
stated that it was aschemic. Her problems are just as bad and they can't get away from the irritable bowel thing it isn't the problem she is finally having almost normal BM's. Since we moved to NH and ordered her med charts. We started to read them and found that when our 2nd daughter was born
there was a possibility of placenta fragment's were left behind. This was on the pathology report. To sum it up there were many screw-ups like a bp of 150/110 pulse 150 and sent ho
