Hi all I've just had a letter in the post about my appointment with gynaecology,it's on the 26th this month,I saw a different doctor yesterday cos of the pains and other symptoms,which I think is my fibroid,this female doctor I saw I told her all my symptoms,and she examined my stomach,she seems to think it's not my fibroid,that's causing the pain in my stomach,and other symptoms,she thinks it might be gall stones,she's referring me to have a scan on the upper part of my stomach,tbh I feel like I'm not being taken seriously,I've looked online about symptoms of gall stones,and it doesn't add up to the pains,and where I'm having these pains,which are mostly on the lower part of my stomach,either on left side,right side or on my belly button itself,I do get pains under my ribs too,this doctor also seems to think that gynaecology won't remove my fibroid,cos it's small,I stressed to this doctor,that I want to have more kids,and need the fibroid out,she thinks removing the fibroid would cause damage to my womb,all I know is I'm not going to fall pregnant,whilst I've got it still inside me,need some advice,going out of my mind,I'm getting worse,feeling sick a lot of the time now,feeling hot,dizzy,I had a horrible spell Thursday evening,was in the kitchen washing up,I was almost finished,and suddenly had excruciating back pain,felt like I was going to be sick,dizzy and was close to passing out,thankfully managed to grab a chair and sit down,don't know if that was caused by my fibroid,or completely separate,just know I'm not well and getting worse

    Hi Jenny,

    I've had problems with fibroids and a hiatus hernia - both sorted now as I had 2 surgeries to sort both. It could be you do have 2 things going on there - and it would be wise to get both checked out. Hiatus hernia can cause referred pain - especially if it presses on the vagus nerve. The hernia made me feel sick a lot especially if I ate the wrong things - and it would usually be within 20 minutes of eating a meal. I got dizzy a fair bit too. My fibroid was the source of my back pain. Worrying will make both feel bad - I know - I am a worrier! I really hope you get some answers soon!

      Just hang on in there! You will get sorted - it does take time - but you will get sorted. GP's don't refer unless they have concerns. Go to your appointments and see what they say. Once you know what is going on you will feel a lot better. Not knowing is when your mind goes into overdrive x

    Hi Jenny, i know your post is a little old but i was wondering how things are going with your pain and fibroids. I am awaiting a gynae appointment having had pains low abdo and low back for a few months. i had an USS which shows i have a small fibroid but i am experiencing a lot of pain during my period and period pains and sharp pains on and off when im not having a period. I feel tired and dizzy too. My GP did not think my small fibroid would cause such pain, i also have 2 gall stones x
