Dreading it!!!
I hate Doctors, god knows i've seen enough of them in the past year. Back in late August 2010 i ended up in the ER due to pain in my back radiating to my sides. They ran numerous tests and only idea was a large teratoma cyst on what they said was my LEFT ovary. They scheduled surgery for its removal. At the time i wondered why they said it was on my left when most of the pain was on my right. After the surgery during which there were complications and i ended up having my RIGHT ovary removed. Turns out that was the side the cyst was on the ovary was removed because unfortunately i started bleeding on the operating table and he had to, to get the bleeding stopped. The recovery from that was hard on me...i was only supposed to be out 3 days from work and was out two weeks. The surgery itself was a one day thing although at my follow up visit to my Drs he mentioned i must have a high pain threshold since despite the complications i walked out on my own within an hour of coming out of anesthesia. Every since then ive had a recurring pain in my left side. The side they entered on no one can find the cause. I have had bloodwork, catscans, xrays, ultrasounds, and nothing to cause alarm except for one thing which is what im going to the Drs for today. Appears there is something around my kidneys. In the last 6 months i have been to so many Drs, my primary (she ordered bloodwork, xrays, the cardiologist, and a neurologist, i havent seen the neurologist yet) a cardiologist (i have a heart murmur he ordered an echo of my heart and i had to wear a heart monitor for 21 days), my ob/gyn to see if i had another cyst i dont (he referred me to gastro), saw the gastro (he said doesnt sound like a gastral problem referred me to a urologist), today im going to see the urologist...oh joy i have no faith in them having any answers anymore :( Oh just for the record i ended up in the ER in late july again due to a LOT of pain again back pain radiating to the front the thing they think it is at first is kidney stones but i checked out clean for them....i had more bloodwork and another catscan. They couldnt find anything but stuff that COULD be from an infection he prescribed antibiotics but i was in pain for over a week had to be controlled by 3 advil every 8 hours :( on top of that i had to have a molar pulled and the oral surgeon didnt numb me up enough. He hurt me bad took me a few days to recover my face was swollen and bruised i had stitches. The last year and a half besides my health issues has just been hell, my mom died July 2010, my uncle a few months later, my niece earlier this year all from cancer. A close family friend who babysat my boys and was like another grandmother to them passed away this summer, and now my father is having tests down to determine if he has prostrate cancer. How much is a person supposed to be able to take?
