shalena,
i had the same unfortunate experience with a gyn.he totally thought
pain was all in my head too.he even went so far as to ask me if there
had been rape or incest in my family because why then did sex hurt so
much and why was there so long in between relations with my
husband.well let me tell you that i found a godsend in a dr. in
atlanta,ga by the name of dr.mark perloe.anybody who is able to come
to ga.to see him will totally benefit.he is so caring and listens.he
doesnt believe its just in your head.my pain has been so bad for
years.i have done everything and in a couple of weeks will be facing a
hysterectomy on my rt.side as well as my cervix and uterus.
shalena,if you ever need to talk i am here for you.i would love to
lend an ear and shoulder to cry on because everybody on the forum has
done the same in my need .
