Re: Bloating and Pain During Ovulation - Can Anyone Relate?

This sounds all to familiar...I also had a c-section, two years later
had adhesions removed and tubes tied...less than 2 months later I
started to get this pain.
I've been to 3 OB/GYN's, 1 surgeon and a gastrologist. I've had and
endoscopy, colonoscopy, upper GI CAT scan, lower GI CAT scan, gall
bladder ultrasound, blood work, and laproscopic surgery (recently). They
found a hiatal hernia...not related as they say....an umbilical
hernia...not the problem either...it's repaired and I still have the
pain...just don't have the twisting part. EVERYTHING has been noted as
normal and healthy...ovaries, uterous, intestines, etc.
They are telling me that there is nothing more they can do for me that
everything is healthy....
Except I'm still having the pain...WHAT IS THE PROBLEM????? When I get
my period, the pain goes away. I watch what I eat, eat a bland diet and
stay away from gassy foods. I took pepto bismal this month to see if it
took the burning away....the pain still comes, lasts 20-30 minutes and
goes away.
The worst is at night as I don't get enough sleep and don't deal with it
as well. My family and coworkers see a change 3 days after my period
starts as my color improves, I'm back to my normally smiley self.
I just had surgery 3 weeks ago, hoping to get rid of this pain only to
have it return this week.
Please give an explanation and I'll go away!!! I find it very difficult
to live with only having 3 out of 4 weeks that I feel good and having a
healthy body!!!!
talk to me!!!
Healthy is Dover????
