ovarian cyst,adhesions and endometriosis

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi,Im a 39 yr old mum of 3 and i have had terrible abdominal pain since 2004,all the different GP'S i have seen have said i had IBS.Any tablets they gave me were useless.Then in feb i went back once again but this time was offered swabs and a ultrasound.GP was very rude and did not

want to refer me as she was sure i was waisting time and money. My ultrasound showed a 10cm cyst on my right ovary,the radiographer insisted that i didn't go back to the same gp again.I then saw my gyno and she said that my symptoms were also signs of adhesions and ednomitriosis,that i'd have to have a endoscopy in 3wks to see whats going on.She doesn't seem keen on doing anything about the adhesions but if im in pain i think they should.

Can you give me any advice please.I also want my ovaries removed their all i have left after a hysterectomy in 2001. THANKS.

    Pleased your feeling a little better and everything went well for you, the pain killers he has put you on and just paracetamol and codeine bung you up something rotten that's what i am on. Have a review appointment on the 12th of next month at the hospital, have a part private health care plan so i phoned them and asked if they would cover the price of a Lap said they would cover 75% of it so if i get no joy am asking for all my notes and going for a second opinion and am pushing for a Lap just for peace of mind as the pain is now constant and it's no b****y joke anymore. If it is adhesions from very old Endo they can sort them out while they are there hopefully as i refuse to live on painkillers all my life and it's not as though i have had loads of surgery at all, thats what worries me the state of my stomach and liver. How's the OH now? any better.

    Hi good for you ive had 5 sugerys and thats why there are so many for me but they should be able to sort you out and if so why have they taken so bloody long to get to that desision,dame doctors.Im having terrible pains with wind cause of the zapain and im blocked up so i took movicol and now my tums upset again talk about going in circles.My ohS much better but we'll see how it goes as the weekend gets nearer.Im only having trouble finding clothes to go away cause im 5ft1in and a size 14 people dont catter for little ones like me,i want a nice dress but its easier said than done.

    Said they only wanted to do it as a last resort, penny pinching on there part probably if they added up what it's cost them as an inpatient and all the b****y silly tests they could have done it twice over by now, and have to have the urine test done again tomorrow as it didn't work to old and diluted again, can't pee for 5 hours before and nothing to drink that should be good for a laugh as i can't hold myself anymore since all this started and the appointment isn't until 5 to 9 at the GP's surgery. I have the same thing with the wind i was given a thing called Kolanticon by GP it's antispasmodic, antiflatulent and antacid it's a bit like milk of magnesia taste's rotten but does the job can't stop farting after taking it (lol) OH says i stink Have you a Zara near you anywhere they do lovely clothes for all sizes and heights and they are reasonable, hope you find something you like.

    Oh you made me laugh but its because im the same when i take movicol it stinks to high heaven its like some chemical smell so god knows whats going on in side me.Ive bought a lovely dress and shrug online from littlewoods its all different shades of coral and bits of black,the shrugs black and black heels and for once they fit perfect but as soon as my oh sees it i know he will say say its just ok or horrible.But who cares what he thinks as long as i feel good.I will have to invest in some fake tan though i look like a uncooked chip i dont want a seagull to pounch on me ha ha and i need a bag.Yuor so lucky having a Zara by you,ive always wanted to shop there they are timeless and good quality.We have to go to Llandudno to get clothes theres only a new look or tesco here its terrible.

    As i say to my OH it's not you that's wearing it and if it's that bad walk the other side of the road, and as long as you like it and it makes you feel good all the better. We have a Zara in Belfast that's about 16 miles from where i live easy to get to by train or bus. Didn't manage to hold on long enough today so no doubt will have to do it again explained to the nurse at the treatment room and said if it fails again can i do it at home and drop it back she said that should be fine as long as i follow the instructions.In awful pain most days now all the time are you the same and does it get worse after eating?, just wondered.

    Hi well at the moment im having no problems going to the loo which seems to have eased the pain its just like mild period pain and i can cope with that.But im wondering why all of a sudden everythings going right through me.But i get terrible pain when it starts moving through my bowel and stomach pains when i eat it makes me stop what im doing and hold my tum.So im thinking oh what now and i cant take the zapain it gives me upset tum and cramps with wing ss im no better off.

    Same here, everything seems to go straight through or get stuck no happy medium and eating it feels like something is pulling my insides out of my a** at times or pulling under my right rib cage keep telling them but they never listen reckon it's adhesion's pulling on organs they have stuck to inside that's why they say it is from the operation i had as a baby, seems funny it's taken 56 years to do this. To give you a laugh GP phoned today urine test failed again so now i have to do it all again at home with strict instructions not to drink anything after 8 at night and pee in the bottle first 1 in the morning put it straight into a brown envelope and take it back down as it cannot be exposed to the light at all or it will fail again the test is that bloody weird. Said to GP they are just clutching at straws now and am fed up with it. Have a lovely Easter the weather is lovely here hope your having good weather to.

He wouldn't bring her here last time he tried i told him half your child and your meant to keep her so you look after her my daughter is allowed a life and if she wants to go out doesn't need your permission hasn't been back since. Would teach your OH a lesson if you stayed away an extra night. Most GP's are crap now don't really listen anymore piles are painful guy had his fixed when i was in hospital was walking like John Wayne and couldn't sit down either poor thing hope your bum feels a little better you will have to have a hot bath will help ease the bruise and piles and Arnica will help will take down the swelling.

    I worked in secondary school education for years as a special needs classroom assistant and always said some people shouldn't be allowed children some of the kids i used to feel so sorry for parents couldn't have cared less more interested in drink drugs and how many men/women they could pick up. Kids used to come in in dirty clothes and not fed and social services are powerless to do anything now the saying is a parent is better than no parent at all so keep them in there home fat lot of good to the kids when there neglected. We help as much as we can fight for extra help for the boys very intelligent but social skills are pretty awful now he's saying my daughter is failing her daughter as she is behind in school we've got her extra help in school and bought books and educational games to use at home to help her as i have a level 3/4 B Tec can't do anymore he had the cheek to go to the school the other week and talk to her teacher first time ever they had to ask what he looked like as they didn't know him. With family like that who needs them anyway you certainly don't need reminding you lived it for gods sake and 1 man is enough for any woman always remember what my mum said when my dad died she didn't want another man she wanted a woman to help with the housework and a natter not a grump who left smelly washing all over the place (lol).

    i totally agree with your mum about men and id never marry again or live wit one i often say if i had to do it all again he could live in his house and me in mine lol.Ive lost so much weight all my clothes are hanging off me including my clothes to go away i hope i can put abit back on it will cost me a fortune to replace everything and typically i cant find any recipts and thats not like me im so organised.I think its being in pain makes me absent minded.Well i told my oh that i hope hes not worrying that im out on the pull and hs said yes ever so quickly i nearly laughed i said im dressing up cause i never get the chance,true he said.So thats it im not saying any more he can stew.I mean where he works there are always people having affairs he comes home and tells me, he has more oppoternity than me and hes been very close to a affair in his last job but i knocked sense into him and showed him up at work in front of everyone.

    I have also lost weight since this all started was only a size 8/10 to begin with now down to a 6 and they don't seem bothered at all, get really embarrassed being asked if i am anorexic all the time when i know i eat proved it while i was in hospital there not worried as my bloods are fine this is why they keep saying scar or adhesion's that's causing the problems have a review appointment on the 12th of next month and both is he going to get a piece of my mind. I never go out anymore either now as i am so embarrassed at not being able to eat much only a child's portion or 1 drink and want to come home as it doesn't seem to agree with me. Know what you mean about affairs they should have made a film called carry on teacher it would have been porn with the carry on that went on at the staff doe's mind you i did used to get a good laugh, used to think if the parents could see you lot now they would never let their kids in the same classroom again with that teacher.
