Gayle,
I do know what you are talking about. I have a dr appt at 10am today &
I know I am going to get into an argument with him. He has put off my
surgery now for 2 MONTHS! I have a cyst on my left ovary & I think it
has endo with it. But you know as well as I do that they have do go in
with a scope to find out. I have pain in my lower back & numbness that
goes down my left leg. I have not slept good in weeks because I can not
lay on my left side without being in severe pain. I am just waiting for
my leg to go completely NUMB! I am just so pissed off & feel like I am
alone. My husband is tired of hearing my complain. And I am tired of
feeling this way. Thanks for listening & I wanted you to know you are
not alone. But I know how frustrating it is when you are in pain & the
dr is like here take this & maybe it will help. I would love to slap
the dr as soon as I see him & let him feel half of what I do. I will
keep you in my prayers. Take care & God bless.
