Update RE: Possible Endometriosis

Hi,
Well my gastro doc 's office called this week with my final result on the Upper GI Lower Bowel and it was normal. The nurse said that he wants to see me on the 15th which I have an appointment and he wants me to follow up with my Gyno because he is convinced that I have Endometriosis. I asked her if the Gasto doc would call my Gyno, because my Gyno keeps throwing it off as IBS. She said she would have him call him. I also left a message with my Gyno yesturday.

I have been in such horrible pain. This month has been a real tough one. This week in general has been horrible and I am due for my period next week. The pain has actualy woken me up in the night and I was crying I couldn't bear it. My girlfriend gave me a percaset the day before incase I ran into problems. Thank god for that.

I have been getting sharp pains in my lower left side of my abdomen, cramps, back pain, pain in my thigh, I have been feeling misserable. I could be walking and all of a sudden I get this horrible pain in my lower left side to where I would stop dead in my tracks.

I also covered myself If my Gyno doesn't do anything. I called another Gyno, who actualy returned my call in 15 mins. He used to work with my Gyno that I have now. He listened to everything I had to say and he said it does sound like Endo, and if my Gyno doesn't do the test, to have my file sent to him, he will review it and check me out and do the Larposcopy SP? He did tell me that unfortunmately you cant cure Endo. All I want is some type of pain management. I can't take much more. This has been going on for almost 8 months now.

Has anyone had such a hard time dealing with doctors?? At least my Gastro doc has been great!!

Re: Update RE: Possible Endometriosis

Yeah it is opposite with me. My gastro felt that my ovarian mass had nothing to do with the IBS and actually didn't tell me he saw my mass on a CT scan until I came back to him a month later. I was in pain and he didn't feel it was relevant!!! It was the size of a baseball!!!! When the Gyno took out the twisting tumor he said my IBS-d should disappear...and it has.
Now my Gastro keeps wanting me to make an appointment. Why? All he did is put me on one med anyway, which I hated and didn't take, but he told me I had too. I'll just deal with it in my own way if it comes back. I'm sick of going to doctors!
Take care,
Nodi
