Dr. Shanahan,
Thanks for replying. Can endo develop real quick? I had an ultrasound
sept 2001, showed fine.. nothing there that shouldn't be there. Also,
when GYN did last surgery Dec 2001, she didn't see anything. But.. she
didnt look INSIDE the uterus. Hmmmm.. still leaves me wondering about
what it could be. Guess I will just have to wait and see what she has
to say when she calls me back. I am hoping it is soon. I have no pain
meds, and GI doc wouldnt give me anything.. due to fact it wasnt GI
related. I can understand his reasoning completely. I dont like to
make trips to the ER cause they hardly do anything for pain like this.
Oh well... thanks for answering anyways. Maybe I will post back when
and if I FINALLY figure out what this is! Have a nice weekend!
