Advice and reassurance please!!!

Hello to all of you:) I just got back from vacation and thought I would give you all an update as I also have a few questions and would like some advice.

First of all, I was supposed to have urodynamics done at the urologist yesterday to test the bladder, but I started my period on Sunday and they couldn't do it while I am menstruating, so it is postponed until Friday where I will have urodynamics and cystoscopy done. I still ended up talking to the doc and his nurses for about 20 mins., and I ended up breaking down in tears because I just can't take this anymore. He put me on Detrol LA about 3 weeks ago and I told him it was helping a great deal, it cut my frequencies in half. I proceeded to tell him that I am experiencing really bad pain in the right part of my pelvis area and also that the pain in my bladder has not gone away and that it wakes me up every night and it hurts so bad I am up for hours in tears. With that said, he then told me that he is a specialist, and that I need to see my gyno for those problems as he can't do anything about them. ??????!!!!!!!!!!!??????? That was about when I broke down. I told him I am miserable and I am tired of getting bounced around from doctor to doctor with NO answers, and nobody willing to do anything about it. He told me to go home and take some tylenol, extra strength, and come back friday unless I am still menstruating.

This is all very depressing and it is upsetting me a great deal that (at least it seems like) nobody is willing to help me. The pain has become a constant every day problem, and has gotten worse as the days go by. I never had a huge problem with the intercourse part until recently, the past month sex has hurt me, during and after. I feel this horrible urge to urinate during sex, and then I feel horrible cramping for hours afterward, and it's not like we are doing any unusual positions, just missionary. I have also for the past month been having a brown discharge, almost every day.

Ladies, I know a lot of you have been through this and I need your help. I am going to go through with the procedure at the urologist on friday (if possible) and I am wondering whether or not I should call my gyno and schedule a lap with her???? She is the one who from the very beginning has told me it was all in my head, and part of me wants to go to someone different, but part of me wants to stay with her because I have seen her so many times.

My family and I all think it's endo as it also runs in our family. Does this sound like endo to you, and should I tell my gyno I want a lap done?????? I know this is so long, and I know some of you have responded giving me advice, I guess I just need reassurance that I am not overreacting and that this is something to be concerned about. Please help me!! Amanda
