What do you have to say?

I just wanted to say that I have been in pain for the past 2 1/2 years for the first 1 1/2 it was unbearable and then I got used to the pain. Not by choice though but I got tired of going to the doctors and they kept saying oh well its endo, cyst on your ovaries all they wanted to do is give me pain pills and send me home, IBS and get this one I had one dr. tell me that I had ripped the cartlidge away from my rib bones. And this all originated from the same location that the pain was coming from(when dr. asked where does it hurt I'd say right here pointing to specific places in my stomach and each one says something different).The whole reason to go to a different dr. was for 2nd opinons and it just dug a deeper hole in my pocket thats it. And each answer was from a different doctor. I thought and thought my puzzle isn't finished but eventually I think I will diagnose myself. Lets see 3.9cm cyst is what the sonograms say that I'm still paying for and have no answers to anything. No pregnancies,shorter but periods with more clotage then ever before.Eventually I'll figure it out on my own then maybe soomeone can do something about it. Still to this day I don't know exactly what the problem is and I am still hurting.

Hi there,
pain is a very complex problem.
It can be due to:
infection
endometriosis
blocked fallopian tubes
adhesions
irritable bowel disease
inflammatory bowel disease
ovarian cysts
torsion of ovarian cysts
bowel obstruction
fracture
muscle strain
neurological factors
depression

women with a history of sexual abuse have a higher rate of pain, especially pelvic pain.

I wonder whether a holistic healer might be a good place to start.
It is helpful to develop a therapeutic relationship with a practitioner. Then slowly over time, the issue can be sorted out.

sometimes there is no quick fix. sometime all ti takes is removing an ovary or the uterus to fix the pain. it is hard to know what would be best without a careful evalaution.

i hope all works out for you!
best wishes
