Constant pelvic pain?

Posted by catlady1900 @catlady1900, Aug 27 6:22pm

I have been having severe pelvic pain since Mid-July. Every NP or doctor I see thinks I have endometriosis. I am on strong pain pills for this type of pain. Does anyone else suffer from this kind of pain?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Women's Health Support Group.

I’m sorry you are suffering in such pain on a daily basis. I do not have any pain at all, but a 3 compartment prolpase. Would your doctor be able to do any type of surgery to help?

If it was me, I would make an appointment in the Gyne department. And have a thorough in appointment
There could be many reasons why you were having pain and a gynecologist would be the best place to go
Try to read up on it by Google or Google scholar or any other website that is good for information
I wish you the best

@catlady1900 May I ask your age? If this were me and I was getting nowhere with my doctors and NP I’d get another opinion. Have you had an ultrasound? CT? What do your doctors think causes the pain?

Had a rectocel op 3 years ago and have had chronic pain ever since. A trapped pudenal nerve and still cant get an appointment. The pain is chronic.

I am 29. I'm seeing a new doctor next month. Someone on this thread mentioned Surgery, I will be asking my doctor about it. Yes, I have had CT scans, and ultrasounds. All the doctors I have seen think I have endometriosis.

@catlady1900 Thank you for sharing your age. I don’t believe it’s reasonable to expect a person to live with the kind of pain you are experiencing. I’m relieved that you are consulting another physician. If you were a member of my family I’d be supporting you and helping you to find the doctor and care team that would work with you to get the answers you need.

Here is a link from Mayo Clinic on endometriosis:

Is your new doctor a specialist in endometriosis?

@sharshy Pain for 3 years? And the doctor won’t see you? I hope you are getting something to help with the pain, I have read online sometimes a stitch can be on/by that nerve and they just go back in and clip it/remove it. But 3 years is a long time to see if it can be done. I hope you can find another doctor if cannot get an appointment. Wishing you the best.

@jenben59 Thanks. I have had many scans and tests but they couldnt find what was wrong with me. The op I had damaged and trapped my nerves. Restless legs was diagnosed and put on gabapentin and trazodone for nerve pain. I did my own research and now know that I need surgery to release the nerve but its takeing ages to see a surgeon, I compalined to PALS at the hospital so its moving along .
