Lap gave me answers but didn't take away any pain:(From: amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Mar 17 09:05:23 2004
I have been suffering with horrible pain for over 7 years. My doctors have all written it off as cysts and said they were normal and a part of my life. My pain has been too bad to be normal so I finally pushed for a laparoscopy. I had my lap done Feb 18 and the results showed that I have stage 2 endo, polycystic ovaries and due to my crohn's disease (according to my dr.) my small intestine is stuck to my right ovary. The doctor told me he removed the endo and cysts but could not disconnect the tissue that was sticking my organs together for fear of perforating my bowel. He said that I would have to have a general surgeon take care of that. Well, I am 31 and trying to have my first baby with no success so far. Because of this, the doctor said my best course of action is to not have any treatment or further surgeries now and just try to get pregnant. Well, less than one month after my lap, all my pain has returned. I am so sad and depressed because I thought for once I might experience some relief, even if it was only for a couple of months. I can't imagine trying for a baby when sex is the last thing on my mind. My pain is so unbearable that I am hardly able to walk or stand at all- THIS IS NO WAY TO LIVE!!! I have had success with birth control pills in the past and have decided to forget having a baby (which is heart breaking in itself) and try to go back on b.c. pills after i get through this period. I don't understand why my pain is so bad. i have had to quit my job and drop out of life because of this. as i write this the tears are just pouring. somehow, i feel that some of you know how i feel and it makes me not feel so alone. thanks for listening and i hope for you pain free days ahead. thanks, amy
