Hello all,
I found this group in a desperate attempt to connect with anyone going through or anyone who would be williwilling to advise me, on my current health issues.
I am 34 years old, 2 and a half years ago (whilst pregnant with my daughter) I developed a rather painful very low to the left side, pelvic pain. At first I put it down to the pregnancy, 2 and a half years on, it continues. The pain is intense, it is almost so low it's in the bladder location and is only on the left side. It penetrates through my back like a burning throb.
Early last year I went through examinations, I had a clear MRI and after that, was basically dismissed.
They tried to perform a histeryoscopy (think i spelt wrong) and I had no sedation, and when the camera hit a point near the location of pain, a lightning bolt shot through me and down my legs and the doctor had to stop, so the investigation was not successful.
I felt comforted by the clear MRI and put it down to post baby.
However, since last year, the pain has worsened and not only am I dealing with that, I have also developed altered sensations in my hands and feet. Last year put out of knowhere, I began getting electric shock pains in my hands and feet and it has turned my world upside down ever since.
I can't say if the two are connected, as I just don't know anything at present, but all I know is it's getting worse and I'm lost.
Since a clear MRI my doctor won't hear any more of it. I have been referred to a neurology hospital but after a number of blood tests and MRI scans , my neuropathy is of unknown cause too.
So on top of the origional pelvic pain (unknown cause) I am now dealing with this awful neuropathy of unknown cause.
I am a 34 year woman with no previous medical issues, I know there is something going on in my body and I don't know how to deal with it where I don't seem like I've googled like a anxious mess, even though I know my doctors already think i am.
I am anxious because I know something's wrong, it's been a tough year because of that.
I've come across all sorts of things online but my biggest concern is that could my pelvic pain be cancer, even if my MRI was clear? If there is something wrong with my Bladder, would the MRI be a sufficient diagnostic test to rule that put?
Because I am also dealing with an unknown neuropathy, I have read that this type of neurological symptoms can present itself if there is cancer in the body (although not common)
It's all just getting me down, I don't k ow what to say to doctors anymore and I'm desperate to be taken seriously, the pain pelvic and neurological is getting me down every single day, and not knowing the cause is very hard.
Any advice would be gratefully received
