ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH BLADDER & INTESTINAL ISSUES?From: PAMELA (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jul 18 18:09:32 2006
To anyone who will listen, I just had Laser Ablation for Stage II Endometriosis. The only thing that the surgery got rid of was my pain in my pelvic region. However, all of the problems that I was having before my surgery are still here. They are actually worse. I could have dealt with the pain. It is all these problems together that I just have a hard time dealing with. Has anyone out there found that they are having alot of other issues & they think it might be related to the Endometriosis & that they may have it in other areas of the body? Do you think that if you already have Endo in one place isn't it very likely that it is somewhere else if you start having other problems? My Reproductive Endocrinologist did not even check anywhere else in my body when he did the surgery. He said that Endo is only in the Reproductive region. How do I know that I may not have it in the bladder or the intestines? I have been having alot of abdominal pain (of which no one can tell me the cause) & urinary problems (alot of urine retention with urinalysis that shows blood cells but negative urine cultures). The past 3 days I have been having horrible middle back pain that radiates into my chest (just below my rib region). The pain is pretty bad & I do not know what is causing that. I just had an Endoscopy & Colonoscopy & they did a Biopsy on both with showed nothing at all wrong with me. Everything was completely normal. They did have to Dilate my Esophagus. It had a stricture & they could not tell me why I had a stricture (They said it was normal for my age---I am only 32 years old---how is that normal). Of course I also have the severe fatigue. I also have pretty severe hot flashes at times & my hair has been falling out pretty bad for the past 5 years or so. At times I have severe nausea & dizziness (I have not had that as much though since I had the surgery). I also get this itching all over my body. It is not in any specific area. I just itch & itch & cannot stop itching. I have no idea what causes that. I have been told 2 times that I have a cyst on my ovary (about 3.0 cm) but everytime the CT is done in the ER they tell me it is not causing my pain. Of course, I have the pain too. My pelvic pain is gone since I had the surgery. Now, I am still having pain in my belly button. Sometimes I have sharp pains that shoot through my sides too. Does anyone else have any or some of these symptoms? Was it Endo? If not, what was it? I am just feeling so bad all the time & I want some answers (I am in the process of maybe going to the CEC to get surgery, but right now I do not have the money or the time saved up from work so I am just having to sit around & live with this for the time being). Thank god for this forum:) Pamela
