Have a question
| Mon, 12-29-2008 - 8:50pm |
Hi,I'm new and I have a question to ask. I'm 28 years old and have 3 wonderful kids. I had my tubes tied 2 1/2 years ago and since last Oct I've been having horrible pelvic and back pain(the pain goes down my leg also),and was wondering if I can still get endometriosis after a tubal? The told me I had a 3.5cm cyst on my right ovary but it had burst and I'm still in pain. Could it be endo? The cyst had burst in November,but I'm confused as to why I'm still in pain. I saw the gyno and he said if I'm still in pain in 6 weeks for me to call him and he will have to go in to see whats going on. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated,thank you!!

Hi there,
Yes, paps only rule out irregular cells on the cervix, so it is entirely possible to still have endo after a clear pap (since a pap doesn't test for that). Also, scar tissue can be quite unpleasant if stretched and pulled the wrong way, so that may be a contributing factor.
Reading this last message of yours, I think it is good that you are going back to your doctor about the Lyme's Disease.
Let me know what the outcome is!
Hey there,
By the sounds of things the results were inconclusive, so this would explain why they would be doing further testing.
Good luck!
Wow! It's starting to sound like an episode of House!
Glad you have finally got a diagnosis and are on the road to recovery :).
