Hi all,
I feel like I post on here too much, sorry!
I have suspected Endo and had an ovarian ultrasound a couple of months back, and it came back clear (No cysts or visible tissue there) which is great. But I have had pain in my right side ovary area for years, and I still have it. I don’t dispute the scan at all, but what else could be causing it? I have constant pelvic ‘fullness’ and pain. Shooting pains, dull pains - the lot. I have back pain, and it’s specifically bad on that side.
My GP is great, but doesn’t think my back pain and suspected Endo are linked, he thinks they’re two separate things.
Basically I feel like I’m going mad and getting nowhere. I hate going to the GP as I just feel like they think I’m making it up.
He put me on Desogesterol and as mentioned on my previous post I’m still getting the same pains (the vaginal shooting pains are particularly bad today).
I feel like I have nobody to answer my questions or to understand me, I’m so down.
Any advice would be great xx
Hi
From my understanding Endo won’t show on a scan, they have to take a look to see it. Not sure what they covered in your scan.
Had lap last month, confirmed and treated, but also other things, so back pain could be to do with that.
Sounds like you need further advice, was it a gynaecologist who did the scan?
Don’t worry about going back, I went umpteen times last year with aim of getting answers.
Hope you get it checked and on the road to recovery
Hello,
No I haven’t been referred to a gynaecologist yet. He’s trying me on the Desogesterol first.
Do you feel better after your lap? I hope so xx
I’m on desogesterol as well, since fibroids seen, it’s helped with balancing emotions, not much else.
As others have said ask for the referral, don’t wait, it’ll take time to sort appointment, you don’t want to eat into that. Time gets to be very precious in this mix.
If the GP suspects they should have done it already.
Whilst I think of, I remember reading info in one of the online newspapers that surgeries receive other funding if they cut down on referrals. It was something like the Guardian. How much of that is true I’ve no idea.
