Re: A simple trip to the ER consequently ended up staying 9 daysFrom: sam (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Mar 7 14:29:35 2001
I have had pain in my ovary so bad I couldn't get out of bed. They did ultrasound and found zero. I'm taking depo-vera to stop my period. It stops the pain. I have severe low back pain and it goes down my leg. The doctor just looks at me and says how's the depo. I said fine, he didn't even spend 2 seconds with me. I think something is wrong. help or advice welcome. samAt Wed, 7 Mar 2001, Marcia wrote: > >Dear Wendi: > >No wonder I have been thinking about you for about a week, wondering how >you were!
