Nikki, I can relate, I spent 7 1/2 hrs in the ER on Saturday for pain,
only to have the Er Dr. assume I was just there for pain meds. NO, I
want answers!!! However, he did look at all of the tests I have had done
recently and came up with what I have been saying to them all along that
I have a very enlarged lymph node in my groin and it has to come out
quickly, it most likely has endo on it and this is creating the pain. My
white blood count was normal so I guess they are not concerned with
lymphoma or anything else. I wish we could transfer our pain level to
the DRs. when we see them so they could really understand what we are
going through.
I am worried that they have you on such strong drugs while you are in
the early stages of pregnancy. I guess the Dr.s know what they are
doing. I hope you start to feel better, maybe once you get out of the
first trimester you will feel better. Good luck! B.
