There is pain in my abdomen. It is sharp, constant and scary. I cannot have sex with my husband for the pain. I cannot sleep for the pain and I cannot think of anything but this pain. I am already depressed and taking 2 antidepressants. I have been suicidal recently. I made a dr. appt. but I am scared to even ask off work for this appt. People here are so nice and I do not want to take advantage. i answer the phones and me leaving will only put pressure on others. I want to cry. I want to just go home and sit quietly with a heating pad and cry alone. I have painkillers at the pharmacy but they will not let me have them. Isn't that stupid? My dr. prescribes medication and the pharmacy won't let me have them. I want to talk to someone but I do not have a friend or mother i can go to. It is so depressing. I Had surgery in Oct. 2002 and I'm afraid I might have to have it again. I'm afraid I won't be able to have kids. The last dr. told me to have a full hysterectomy. I didn't do it. And now the pain is back. I hate this and I am helpless against it.

Hi sheluvsart. HUGS and Im sorry to hear about your pain. Well, the pain could be stress. You sound extremely stressed. However, if you were recommended to get a hysterectomy, that might be the reason for the pain. I would STRONGLY recommend that you go to the doctor, even if you have to ask for the day off. You can even take just half a day off so that you dont have to feel so bad about it, but this is a very good reason to take a day off. If you decide not to go to the doctor, I would go to a hospital (non-emergency) or walk-in-clinic. Please take care of it. What does your husband say? Please Please take care of yourself. HUGS
