I am really hoping I can get some help here but it seems that the last post was over a year ago. I have been through the ringer at a very young age.dealing with unexplained medical problems, one after the other. I am 27 now and I have had a spontaneous pneumothorax, sphenoid sinus blockage, molar pregnancy, tubal pregnancy, numerous miscarriages, 1 birth, After I had my last pregnancy, the Dr told me I had a miscarriage...2 weeks later, my tube burst and I was bleeding internally...I got pregnant in the tube where my ovary was removed 1 year prior. They never thought to look in that tube due to me not having an ovary on that side. Now, I have had severe back and neck problems, 2 bulging discs in my lower back, degenerating faucet joints and now, on top of all this...I have a bulging disc in my neck that is pushing on my spinal cord and causing excruciating pain! I am going into surgery very soon to put a metal plate in my neck. No doctor can give me a reason as to why all this has happened to me in less than 6 years.Could there be any underlining cause that is doing all this to me? Now that I have had this many surgeries... I am addicted to pain meds and I don't know what to do! I am in so much pain from something happening to me one thing after another, and now going in for surgery...I will have to be on the pain meds longer. Please help me! I need some advice and a Dr that will listen and put all my symptoms and problems into one and see if they can come up with anything...one Dr. said Fibromialgia...but that only causes pain...not pure physical signs of pregnancy problems, lungs collapsing, degenerating discs and bulging,...and 7 pregnancies and 1 birth plus more. I am begging for an answer and really wishing that Dr House was a REAL Dr :( LOL!!!

Hi,
How are you?Were you able to have this checked by your gynecologist? The most common cause of pregnancy loss is chromosome abnormality that occurs during fertilization; abnormal hormone levels in the mother, such as thyroid hormone; uncontrolled diabetes; exposure to environmental and workplace hazards, such as radiation or toxic agents; certain infections;uterine abnormalities;incompetent cervix; and certain medications.  A pneumothorax can also develop as a result of underlying lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, asthma, and infections of the lungs. Addiction to pain medications should also warrant further evaluation and management. Talk to your doctor about  this. Take care and do keep us posted.

Hi...I have a friend that had a molar pregnancy too....she has a few medical conditions....Ehlers-Danlos....POTS- Tethered cord, Chiari malformation and a few others....I would see if u fit ne of the criteria for ne of these.

The fibro dx could be the Ehlers-danlos....it would explain hte ruptures u have had, joint pains....and many other issues u r dealing with.

Please keep us posted
