6 MONTHS OF PAIN AND NO ANSWERS

Posted by Nomojo21

6 months ago I started having pain in my lower abdominal area, the pain goes from the region of my right ovarie up towards my liver and travels to my lower right side of my back, so pretty much it travels my right hit bone and goes down the inner part of my right thigh. Anyways I've had countless tests, ultrasounds, ct scans etc and no doctor has found anything! Early this month I started having abnormal discharge, smelly vagina, spotting blood, and a missed period. So I go see my primary care provider and she says I had bacterial vaginitis, which I did cause the smelly vagina went away lol So a week and half later the spotting comes back, I go see an ob, got a pap smear, a pregnancy test and the depo provera shot in case it's endometriosis.....however the ob told me nothing about the side effects of the depo shot except that it increases breast cancer risks, it stopping a period, and if I have endometriosis the shot should help......HE DIDNT TELL ME OR LOOK INTO WHY I WAS SPOTTING AGAIN AND HADN'T STARTED MY PERIOD YET!

So its been about a week since I had the depo shot and other than the spotting nothing has changed, I've recently started having a pressure feeling in my pelvic area, and I've gotten discharge again, pain/ pressure in lower back, pressure on upper thigh region, not sure if it's normal or abnormal, and I've been extremely fatigued.....I'm so scared......I'm so scared I have cancer and they don't know *crying*. This pain has effected my life as a mother and wife....I need answers and I'm not getting them. My pcp thinks it's time I get a laprascopy but she says that's something inhale to talk with my ob about cause they are the ones that do it.

I go in next tuesday for another transvaginal ultrasound, and May 4th is the earliest that the ob can get me in for an appointment......I just don't know what to do or think at this point, I now have it in my head that I'm going to die, I'm going to die of cancer that they haven't detected.....I'm so horrified.

Please I need some guidance I need answers not another run around.View Thread

Posted by starshiner

Why my cysts are different then others I read about. Catscan showed a cyst on my ovary. I went to a ovarian cyst specialist and thought I would be walking out with BCP or maybe a hormone treatment. I gave him all my symptoms and he said he could not help me with them. I ended up with finding out my left ovary need to be removed before my pelvic exam. After feeling my ovaries, he then added that I may need the other removed. I needed to give him a decision to be able to take out my right if needed. I was under so much stress I signed the consent.

I started to read about others with cysts that the dr has ultra sounds and bloodwork. I had only the catscan.

I do not want to lose my feminity or sexuality that comes with being a woman. I have finally found the love of my life and he says we will work through it. I also have never felt so satisfied sexually and this treatens to take it away.

There were 3 abnormal paps 2 years ago and then it was normal. Was told to go on like normal.

I had been having problems with pain in my groin and pelvic area for 1 1/2 yr. I have been to my pain management doctor thinking it was my fibromyalgia. He kept blowing me off and kept giving me muscle relaxers. I kept telling him the pain was still there. I explained my pain would come everytime i pushed a shopping cart and at the end of my day around 9 pm when i finally sit down to get ready for bed. Finally, He said I will have to see abdominal dr.

That led me to my primary physcian. He took xrays and told me my bones were fine. He also wanted to do a pap and internal. So I complied and he said my internal was normal. I asked him what to do and he told me that nothing was wrong. He asked if i had any problems urninating and I said yes, i have to push hard to uriniate. He said I was fine.
My primary dr prior to this asked me if I was done having children and advised he could do my exams at his office.

I started to get this pain more frequent and with many more complications.vommiting/Nausea, diaharrea and constipation, acne, tired more easily, pressure in my hip, unable to pee.

I ended in the ER with pain so bad I could not sit up straight. I was given morphine and pain was still horrible. I got a cat scan and told the tech my pain was on my right. The doctor asked me if i was sure it was my right and I put my fingers in the spot. Well he said "that is funny you have nothing wrong with your right. Are you sure?" I said yes it was my right. He did say that I had a small cyst on my left ovary though. And that my pain was not related to my cyst.

I cried in my husbands arms. All I got was my discharge papers that said to see a ob/gyn and a script for tramadol. I was wheeled out of the ER.

That lead me to the specialist.View Thread
