In pain and no one has a clue why. elp
Posted , 4 users are following.
I am 18 years old and a virgin and for the past 7 months I have been having right sided pelvic pain. It started to be painful when i lay on my back and was quite a sharp pain. Following this, i began to experience a dull sort of pain which would come and go. Soon after I began getting a sudden sharp pain from time to time ( the pain is a cross between period cramps and the pain i experience when i had an appendicitis). Then i would the pain when lying on my stomach or my right side. I took a month to get the that stage and is still ongoing. Paracetamol and ibuprofen don't help with the pain. I have been to my doctors 5 times now and had many sort of diagnosis (IBS, PCOS, Cyst) but nothing has been discovered or found. I have had a pelvic ultrasound done ( Internal and abdo which didn't go over the area with the pain) which only found a follicle on my right ovary ( I started my period 2 days after the scan). All my blood tests and urine tests have come back normal. My doctor has put me on amitriptyine 10mg for the pain as it has been affecting my sleep as i can't get comfortable and was waking me up and is getting in contact with gynecology for advice.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this or have an ideas of what is going on.
Its getting really annoying now. I am a student nurse and don't want it to effect me when on placement

No I havent had keyhle surgery for diagnosis. I am still waiting to hear from Gyni about what they want to do. I had keyhole sugery to remove my appendix and the surgeon noted to me that my right ovary was polycystic and had fluid around it, which I keep bringing up when I go to the doctor.

Have a look into endometriosis (i'm sure you already have). Check the symptoms see what you have similar. Don't let them fob you off with other things, if you think you have it. You more than likely do. You know your body more than any doctor or specialist.
If you get offered a laparoscopy, accept it. Don't be worried, I was fine two days after mine.
Good Luck in getting diagnosed.
