Hi everyone. I am new here and have a lot of problems. I have had chronic pelvic pain for about a year now. I had my appendix out (emergency) and finally thought I was going to be pain free. Well I was wrong.I had multiple tests done to figure out where the pain was coming from and at that point I was sent to a specialist and he said I had IBS and that I didn't need any surgeries in the future well he was wrong I had a Lap done 3 weeks ago and they found out I had extensive stage 4 endometriosis. The worst case my GYN has ever seen. I see him tomorrow at 1:30 pm so hopefully I can find out what the next step is
My reg Dr says I need my uterus out for sure as that is where it is the worst I take pain killers every four hours vicoden nd percoset. I am in so much pain that I cant work anymore. I clean houses for a living and I told my boss I cant work for now as I cant even clean my own house even with the pain pills. I have tried 2 times and I curl up and cry because it hurts so bad. Also I have a cold presently which isn't helping the pain because every time I cough it hurts very bad.
I hope tomorrow when I talk to my Dr that he tries to hurry this along to maybe help the pain but as much as I am embarrassed to say this I am on medical assistance and I might have to be on shots for at least 6 months first as I was told that is not going to help me being as the endo is so severe.
I am having a hard time right now as the pain since the lap has gotten worse never had my period since my daughter was born in 2003 as I was on the depo shot and now after I had the lap and my tubes tied I got my period again and that pain is more than I can explain, I am very depressed with it all as I cant do anything mood swings hot flashes from the lupron and I am afraid I am going to have liver problems with all the medicine I take for the pain. By what I have seen on here its a great site and it is nice to know others have the same problem and get advice on what they have tried Thanks to all ahead of time and I cant wait to chat It is very nice talking to people who understand where you are coming from
