Pain!

[futuremrsparker 288]

So I'm having horrible lower right quadrant pain. I feel like I'm being dismissed by my surgeon and gynecologist. My surgeon sent me to my gyne and my gyne pretty much said I'm too fat to do a proper exam so she sent me for a transvaginal ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed nothing (as I suspected because I am not feeling the pain THAT low). Now they're like "oh well... We're not sure" and leaving it at that. I am MISERABLE. The pain keeps getting worse and worse. I don't want to go to the ER cause I'm afraid of being admitted again. I have no clue what to do at this point. I haven't slept in days.

That is terrible! You need to find a new gynecologist. There is no reason for a flippant answer like that. Have you had your appendix checked? What about gallbladder?

I am so sorry you're Dr's just brushed you off. Shame on your gyn,but when you're overweight they think the fat has covered our feelings. I would go back to see your surgeon, he should look closer into this it is NOT normal to have pain of any kind,& if it so bad that you can't sleep, please, please go to the ER. It could be serious,& waiting can make it worse. Don't wait my husband was feeling I'll & in pain that got worse & worse, finally after 5 days I got him to go to the ER& his gallbladder needed to be removed, but he waited so long it actually was gangrene by the time they removed it. I don't want to scare you, but you never know what's going on in side. Sorry I tend to ramble on, please let me know how you make out . Peace Mary

I am concerned about my appendix. Supposedly when they did the ultrasound, it looked fine... I don't know... They're saying it could be a pulled muscle. I've never felt a pulled muscle that just continually got worse and worse...

You need to go to the ER.

Don't let doctors treat you that way !!! Tell them you need for them to find out what is wrong !!! They sound pretty much un-caring type doctors. I know a pulled muscle can make you want to kill yourself because I've been there. I would go to the ER and get pain meds.

Hey all... So it's a few days later and the pain just keeps getting worse. I'm planning on going in to the ER after work if it doesn't ease up (which I suspect it won't). I haven't slept in DAYS. It's just awful. If this is a pulled muscle, my goodness! It's insanely painful! My concern is they're going to try and admit me. I don't want to be admitted. :/

Please go! I went to the ER yesterday and everything is ok. Just a little hematoma under one of my incisions cause most of my pain. It will make you feel so much better to find out either way. With serious surgery like this you can't afford to not check it out. Plus I finally got more pain meds.

[marymcg62 23]

Please let us all know how you make out at the ER today. Hope it's just something minor. Good luck & feel better. Peace, Mary

Waiting in the ER and praying this is just something simple and stupid.

Praying u feel better soon

[futuremrsparker 288]

Thank you guys. Turns out, I have multiple hematomas in my abdominal wall from all the manipulation of surgery. The ER doc said that they're very painful and will go away with time. And yes, I agree, they are VERY painful.
