You were absolutely right!
Just to update my situation:
I saw a urogyn at the medical university this morning. He very quickly determined that a portion of the mesh was exposed and infected. I am scheduled for surgery in a few weeks to remove a portion of the mesh. I am hopeful that this will resolve the problems.
It's a shame that the surgeon who put the mesh in would not admit that there was a problem. I'm VERY disappointed in him.
Thanks again for your help.
Thanks for your response.
Even though my current doctor is a urogyn, he hasn't bothered to do any urinary tests other than a CT. There's not much there to see on the CT as I had a total hysterectomy 12 years ago but the bladder was "unremarkable" but nothing about the urethra, of course. He did a urinalysis when all of this became constant and it was negative. I was taking Prosed at the time. He's never repeated the test.
Not sure if he just doesn't know what he's doing or he's doing his best to cover it up. He has me using a new compound of ketamine, diazepam, and baclofen. It worked the first time but I had just stopped the Flagyl. Now, 3 days later, I reapplied the compound and it is not working as well and the odor is back. I'm not a rocket scientist but seems logical that it is an infection.
Plus, while the compound is not supposed to be absorbed, it makes me feel very strange and I'll go a full day with no sleep at all. I take a lot of other meds that the pharmacist wasn't aware of. So frustrating..
Thank you. I will definitely call the medical university and set up a second opinion.
Most definitely get a second opinion. He or she may be able to help rid the pain. This no way for you to live. Write down everything hats bothering you and present it to the doctor. I hope you feel better soon
