What's wrong with me???

by bikermomma, Feb 27, 2008 11:45PM
Hi, I'm gonna be 29 next month and had a partial histerectomy about 6 months ago. Due to the heavy bleeding for months at a time for 9 years, severe cramping and killer pains, along with vomiting, constipation, being tired ALL the time; The quak doctor that said I had to have the histerectomy right away told me that my ovaries looked fine. Ok, so 3 weeks after the surgery I get these killer pains worse then before when I was bleeding all the time, it was so aweful, I think it was worse then child birth with both of my 2 girls. I go back to this doctor and he does a US and says that there's nothing wrong with me and basically pushes me out the door. Later my primary, that referred me to this OBGYN, in the same office, calls and tells me to come back to the office. I do and he says "Dr. ******* says there is nothing wrong with you so go get an US, I tried to tell him that I just had one, but he pushed me out too. So I got mad and having worse pains, so I go to the ER; they do a CT scan; I had a large cyst on my right ovary. They gave me pain meds. and said to get a 2nd opinion. I did! Now this OBGYN says he thinks I might have ENDO. but he can't help me with it b/c he don't that he can help???OK, what ever??? He gave a list of dr.s and one specailist and said to go to him. Not covered on my ins. What is wrong with me??? I also had displasia(sp?) in my cervix in 1998, when I started having all the problems after the doctor laser, froze, and burnt it out.
Can some one PLEASE HELP me figure out what is wrong with me??? I'm reading the other posts on this forum and all the symptoms I'm having are the same as everyone's on here. I'm so scared, and sooootired of being in pain all the time. Should I be concerned? Why didn't he want to treat me?
HELP ME PLEASE???
Sorry so long.
Thanks,
Jen

Wow....your head must really be spinning....my suggestion is to try to get an appointment with a GYN/Oncologist...NO I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU HAVE CANCER...GYN/Oncologists have 3 years additional training in gynocological issues and treat many women with benign conditions such as endo...they are the specialists!!!!

Best of luck...let us know how it goes.

I also suffered for many years with debilatating pain during,before and after my periods. I am an endometriosis sufferer..had it for many years. It was quite painful. I would definitely go to a GYN/ONC..they will guide you in the right direction..call your insurance company and find a Dr that is covered by your plan. Never let a Dr make you feel that your symptoms are unimportant!!! Find another Primary care and make sure they listen!!! Keep us posted! Gia :)
