Amanda I am so sorry to hear that you are getting treated the way you
are and being bounced around fromn dr to dr. I know how your feeling.
But try your best to stay positive. Oh and the Lap getting done, I am
no dr but I say ya its a good way to find things out and the pain isn't
so bad. ( I am going in for my fourth on the 23 of this month)
Though my BEST advice to you is GO GET A SECOND OPINION. If you obgyn
isn't being very supportive look for a second opion it's always a good
option cus you never know what this dr will do.
But i hope your urodynamics goes well and every thing is ok. let us
know were here for EACHOTHER.
I'm sorry I can't give anymore advice or be more helpful, I hope you get
the answers your seeking Stay POSITIVE try and smile :) and remeber were
here to listen.
~BIG HUGS~
