LEFT IN THE LURCH From: ANNABEL (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 2 Apr 1998 17:02:53 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Elizabeth: "period after d & c" Previous message: Marna: "Re: How soon can you test for pregnancy????" Next in thread: JTomko: "Re: LEFT IN THE LURCH" Reply: JTomko: "Re: LEFT IN THE LURCH" Maybe it is just my naivete, but I did not realize that mind games were so prevalent in the medical community today. Why can you not be a woman in pain without being labeled a crazy hypochondriac or surgery freak? I have been trying to get a suture (I'm pretty sure) removed for the last year (since the first one was removed - not a granuloma - an inch long blue suture that they injected and called a neuroma until they pulled it out of my muscle) to no avail. The entire right lower quadrant of my abdomen is swollen, hurts to barely touch, and I can feel a solid bump (as can the pain Dr.) underneath. My ob/gyn had helped with the first one so I went back to him as I was getting nowhere w/insurance co. He assured me he would help and believed me because of my history - he did a TAH/BSO on me when I was 30 a couple of years ago - so, naturally I trusted him. His idea of "help" is to refer me to his colleagues and tell them that I am a crazy woman (but not too crazy to hug and kiss EVERY time he sees me) whose pain is mostly in her head and just enjoys being cut open. As a result, and unfortunately because they could not formulate their own opinions, I have had appts. canceled with no explanation to me (an hour before!) until my husband called the surgeon and she told him I was overstating my pain and needed a shrink. Another surgeon refused to help because apparently he did not think I was in enough pain, although he did an "appeasal surgery" in 11-97. Now, after receiving yet more trigger point injections to "prove" I am in pain, the anesthesiologist wants to do an epidural block to pinpoint the pain. I know this sounds bizarre, but it is ALL TRUE. Has anyone else had a problem remotely like this?.
