I called the GYN and she is calling me in a Rx for Vicodin. She said it is probably my endometriosis(sp?) But she said the pain on my side and towards my back sounds like kidney stones. I have a big time history of those. They did check for

((((((((((Tina)))))))) I'm sorry to hear you are in such pain. Calling your doc is a good move and be persistent with them. Something is causing this pain and they need to figure out what it is so that they can treat it so you won't be in pain anymore.


I hope tonight is easier for you. Hang in there sweetie and let us know what the doc said.


Hugs,
Traci

Donna- there is no dumb question. They treat Endometriosis now with birth control pills...it helps the tumors/cysts not to grow. They give pain meds and the last resort they do a hysterectomy. That is what my GYN told me. I don't bleed enough for bigger action to take place right now. I am heavy for a few days and then it slows up. The birth control pills help me stay regular. Without them my af is all over the place.

I really thought there was better, less invasive treatment out there.
