What are my next steps?

Hi all,

Hope everyone is coping with the weather!

Had diagnostic lap last week and just got copy of letter gynae sent to GP.

Confirms:

Retrovery uterus

No endo or adhesions

Cyst drained from right ovary was a simple cyst

Follow up as out patient in 4 months

Problem is I still have all the pain in my left side groin, pelvis and lower back.

Have appt booked with GP Monday but other than discussing BCP options, where do I go from here?

Any help appreciated!

Meech xx

Hi Lindle

Thanks for your reply.

That was my thinking too but was starting to feel like so many others who are told the pain is in their head

Almost seemed like the gynae expected to find cysts and she was only interested in anything that supported her theory of PCOS.

I have been reading your posts and comments to others and it's this knowledge and support that keeps me going and knowing I'm not going mad!

Hi you must be so frustrated. I had a scan yesterday for similar symptoms as you but nothing found. Lindle hope you don't mind but I'm going to read abou POD on your profile too. I wonder how receptive GPs are to referring people after diagnostic tests are clear. Best of luck Meech.
