it's hard to know where the pain comes from.

I have had ic since 1998 and have had to bladder surgery's.But i also kept telling the doctor that i could feel a wall nut in my side finally they found out i had a pal ovarian cyst and they removed it,any how i kept going back and telling the doctor ,i still did not feel well and he made me feel like a hypocandriac.I can remember being in so much pain that i just couldn't move .but i just suffered in silence.Finally i switched doctors i kept complaining one year later they went in and found that at some point my left ovary and tube had collasped.'Most woman couldn't stand a cyst let alone a rupture.I kept telling them i felt like i was in labor all the time and then bleeding started and they gave me two lupron shots three months apart and they where going to do a hysterectomy but first :bonk: they went in and gave me an exam and found i had a two inch polup growing from my uterus out through me cervix.Any how it is hard to know now where the pain comes from it is an ic flare or the endo?I am so frustrated you just want to give up.
Any how my point is the pain is bad enough but when you have doctors that at first can't find what's wrong and make you feel worse by making you feel this stuff is all in your head. Until your on the operating table .Where are you suppose to turn? Have any of you had the same problems with doctors?
I have now pretty much givin up i eat pain meds and they don't kill the pain but it takes the edge off and i watch tv.I want my life back..

I have only had one doctor ever tell me my pain was in my head. I never returned to him.
