Okay, I have never been accused of making a Drs. job easy.....
I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted for nerve damage. Since there
is metal in my body, an MRI is not allowed. I had a pelvic done this
past Monday and while it was quite uncomfortable (and my GYN is known to
be one of the most gentle docs), he said everything seemed to be moving
pretty freely.
I'm very frustrated and confused. This is getting me very depressed
(yes, I'm on antidepressants). I should have the results of the serum
estrogen and testosterone early next week, so we'll see if some of the
mood changes I am having are a result of those two things....
Thank you for your help!!
