Re: CHRONICPAIN: Long term constant cramping

Update: I met with the doctor today to sign the consent form for the
laparoscopy. She mentioned that at my ultrasound last month the doc
couldn't see my ovaries, which usually isn't a good thing. The doc I
had for the ultrasound never told me that he couldn't see them. I don't
understand why not! It's obviously kinda important!
Today's doc also told me that there's a 75% chance that they won't find
anything in the lap, but since the previous doc didn't see my ovaries
then there's a better chance that they'll find something. Honestly, why
can't they just admit that they don't know anything?! It's so
frustrating!
