Follow up gynae appointment - Help

Hi everyone. Sorry this is a long post!!

So I went for gynaecology app yesterday. They were 1.5 hours late seeing me to start with then they were closing so they didn't seem interested at all!!

I was told last time to get mirena and wait 6 months for another app. I was hoping this app would help a bit as I had coil fitted and still in pain. This time the gynae said I should take methadamic acid and wait another 3 months to be referred for lap!! My husband was with me and naturally he got annoyed (he has seen me in sooo much pain, up a&e and just wants to help me). I also got really upset as I can't stop crying at the moment and I couldn't believe I have waited 6 months to now be told to wait again. If I take the methadamic acid and feel better will they still refer me for lap (I don't like taking medication unless I really have to and don't want to be on this forever)

The gynae said it may just be ibs and that if I have the op it's still "surgery" and can have problems ect. She said the coil will settle soon(I have had it for 4 months and just seem to have more symptoms and worse pain!!). She said the coil will "kill" the endo over time and I would feel better. I know this is rubbish but I just felt so emotional yesterday and couldn't be bothered to argue. I was sent away without being scanned or checked at all (I was last scanned last July!!) they couldn't even make me another app as the receptionist had gone home (they are meant to send me app in post!!)

I don't know what to do I keep feeling really down and feel like it's all in my head. No doctors seem to care and just keep telling me to wait. The gynae knows I'm nervous about lap so I think she just trying to put me off

I just want to know what's wrong with me so I can feel better and "normal" again

Xx

Hi lindle. Thanks for your reply. I have been so emotional lately (I think due to the coil) and it just feels like I'm going mad!! I'm just fed up with being told to wait and see and no answers

I live in brighton and I have been told there is a good gynae I can see here I'm just doubtful I will see him. I'm also really worried about having a lap and only really want one if I need to

Xx
