Hi All
I have been suffering with lower abdo / pelvic pain now for 4 years. At first I was rushed to hospital as they thought it was my Appendix. I underwent a laparoscopy where they removed a lesion and some free fluid. March 2016 the pain came back and I again had a laparoscopy, this time they confirmed endometriosis, only 1 spot, but it was an instant relief. I have said all along that i'd rather give birth than go through this pain, its physically draining, and i'm exhausted all the time. I have been back to my doctors in November as again symptoms have come back. I have irregular bleeding, not heavy but just irregular. The main symptom is my pain, its like someone is pressing on my pelvis, and also like I am tearing inside. I am physically sick, the colour drains from me and I sometimes get a temperature. I just pace up and down with the severity of the pain. My doctor instantly referred me to Gynae again, where I have seen them. They have agreed to do a laparoscopy again. The doctor has given me Tramadol, Naproxin and Paracetomol. I have undergone a transvaginal scan during which the sonographer has stated my right ovary is attached to my uterus, I have fluid in my uterus, my endometrium is thick and I also have a fibroid. Since then the consultant has sent my result to me and said everything is normal???? How can I be told one thing, and then something completely different. A diff consultant has looked at my scan result and has referred me to have a biopsy of my endometrium. I am still awaiting a date for a laparoscopy I am on a pooling system. But only 2 of the consultants apparantly can do the operation. I'm just confused and downhearted as I'm in so much pain, but the NHS just make you feel like a hypercondriact. My biopsy is on the 6 Feb. I have heard from others suffering with this condition that they have had biopsy to determine the treatment ie laparoscopy or hysterectomy. I am 40 next month have 2 beautiful children and just wish it was all taken out. I cannot take this pain :-(. Sorry for the rant, just know you guys will understand.
Thank youx
