My advice - call the doc and complain. The squeaky wheel gets the oil - especially in todays overburdened medical system. I have tried to suck it up and wait for years, and it never got better - only worse. Pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. I would listen if I were you- pain meds only masking the problem. Its kind of like a weed - if you don't get at the root of the problem, it'll keep coming back.

I am currently in the process of scheduling a total hysterectomy in hopes of finding relief and getting my life back! I've also had too many surgeries, and can barely walk some days. I have severe vertigo too!

I don't know how old you are, but I would suggest discussing this with your doctor as an option - especially if you are finished having children.

I hope that things get better for you soon.
