It's your body, it's your health... be adamant! Many dr's work within a box - and ignore so much... it sounds as if your obgyn is one of those...

You can either - ask for a second opinion - which - I don't care how poor or rich you are - insurance or none - EVERYONE has the right to the second opinion.

Get another dr

Be adamant - get up close and personal (in his/her face) with the doc who is tip-toeing around you and doing basically nothing for you... demand that you get the care you NEED! Tell him/her that your current regeme isn't working - and demand another option... it may take him/her a while - but s/he will rule out everything s/he needs to rule out and finally come to the right conclusion... but you have to push - don't accept something that isn't working. It's your life that you have to live - and if your life is ruined because of pain - as soooooo many people's lives have been - well that's not much of a life is it?

YOU DESERVE TO GET TREATED! DEMAND IT!

Best of luck Best wishes AmyD
