Angie,
I am so sorry to hear that you had to go to the ER. That is horrible. Some
doctors just have no clue!
I can't believe they did not give you anything for the pain at least. That
is horrible practice. I would recommend complaining to the hospital about
this doctor and his lack of education on all subjects of medicine.
Each ER that I have been into here in Florida has at least known of Endo and
when the other things were ruled out, they said that I was having an Endo
"attack" and gave me pain meds and told me to see my doctor. One doctor
admitted me after my third visit for the pain last year.
I hope you can get some relief with the Surgery! My thoughts and prayers are
with you!
Angel Hugs,
Wanda
