Hey I'm so happy this site is available!! I'm 28 I have endometriosis and PCOS i was admitted because of pain 3 weeks ago!! I have the Marina in about 3 years and they r talking about changing it!! I feel lost completely as the pain is unbearable!! I feel like the doctors don't care much!! I have had 3 laps done in the past and I'm at stage 3! The doctor mentioned he didn't want 2 do another lap in case they had to fit a bag, wot did he mean by this?? Im so down about all of this!
Arlene😓
Hi, I had extreme pain when I had the marina and eventually had this removed after 18 months. When the nurse tried to remove it this had grown into the side of me and become stuck. The doctor eventually removed this, and suggested that this may have been the cause of the pain.
I hope you get some answers soon,
Sarah😊
Thanks so much I hope so to as I'm of work and I don't like being of!x
Im from Northern Ireland. I have been really bad from 14 out I feel that the doctors talk down to me a lot and sometimes they make me feel like it's all in my head. I have to go back and see them again and I have a few questions for them I hope hey can sort me out!
Thanks
Arlene
I know what you mean, being away from work is not nice but sometimes you have to. Take care,
Sarah 😊
Thank u so much I will have a look and hopefully get sorted x
Like yourself I was at my wits end. My husband and I decided to look for a Endo specialist and went private because it took so long to get an appointment on the NHS and when you did, never seemed to get any further forward.... Which meant more pain! My consultant is Mr Trehan, he is based in Halifax and London, I know it would mean travelling but its certainly been worth it for me, he is so understanding. Have a look on his website.
Thanks Clare I just have had enough they say things and don't explain why they have said it!x
Hi Arlene I'm in NI too I'm attending the Ulster hospital x
