Well I went for my 2 week post op check. The Dr said I had a little endo but cannot explain the pain in my left groin area. He thinks that it is a femoral hernia...but I have lump. I have been to a surgeon who said he would do more damage exploring so until there is a bump no surgery. Well the gyno thinks I need another opinion and find a surgeon who will. Now I am scared who do I trust???
My GP wants a colonoscopy and thinks IBS. I just want this pain to end and stop be tested and poked at.
Anyone have a femoral hernia???

Sorry, trish. I've never had a femoral hernia. I think if one doctor thinks you need a second opinion, then you should probably seek out a second opinion, though. May be aggrivating and annoying going to another doctor, but it might be worth it.
Also, seems like they give us all colonoscopies or sigmoidoscopies for IBS! My gastro sent me back to the gyne. bc he figured it was just endo on my bowels acting up. Sheesh! It's a never-ending circle!
Good luck w/ everything, though! Keep us posted.

Good luck to you to ouchy!!! I know it just seems like from Dr to Dr and more tests. All the while we feel like crap.
What effects do you get with endo on your bowels???

I've never heard of that type of hernia either but now I wonder whether that is something I should mention since I have those same pains! Thank god they haven't pushed me in the IBS direction in years - but I can understand how frustrating it is! You should check out the rant and rave section.. Cherry posted a rant that blew me away with how accurate she was with describing the pure frustrations we face every single day! Chin up Trish! The good news is that you are getting the chance to see these doctors even though it feels like you are being ping ponged around. Its better now than later.
