Hey y'all,
I know exactly what y'all are talking about about the pulling,
especially when you get up or lay down. that is when I first really
noticed my problem. I was at work, a standing all day job, when my
stomach was hurting really bad, I ended up going to the emergency room
cause it hurt to stand sit or move at the matter, it was really bad to
walk. The doctors at the time told me it was an overactive ovary, I was
what the heck is that. It gets really bad at time and when I'm on my
period it gets way worse. When I'm on my period I get really bloated
and feel like I have to go to the bathroom ( number 2), when I don't. I
would not advise too many laproscopy surgury's because that as well
cause's even more scar tissue which in turn causes more pain. I'm not a
doctor but that's what I was told by a doctor. He said that he had a
patient who kept having surgury's and it was worse and there was nothing
they could about it, it was even worse. The only thing right now that
is somewhat helping my pain is pain medicine, vicodin is what I'm taking
now, I haven't hurt much since I've gotten it filled so I don't know if
it will work yet. I hope some of this will help a little bit.
