My Name is Danielle, I just came here yesterday and looking to see if people feel like I do how do you cope.
About a year ago I started to get a dull pain in my pelvic area on the right side. As the months progressed it got worse and worse. Many times I ended up in the Emergency room and given something for the pain and sent home. Here is Canada there is a major doctor shortage but after many visits to walk in clinics i finally got a GP. I was sent to a specialist a GNYO and was told I probally had Endometeosis. (FORGIVE MY SPELLING HERE I AM NOT ALL THAT GREAT) Ok so I had a laprosopy and I didn't have Endo and I didn't have Pelivc Inflamitory diease. The pain comes on real strong and lasts for about 2-3 months it gets worse when I exercise or walk alot. The pain seems to be in my bladder area but I am not a doctor. When I really have to pee it hurts. So the pain goes away for a month or two then crops up again. After reading online I figured it might be IC. I confronted my doctor and I am going to be sent to another specialist. I don't understand why I had to figure out what this is. I have always gone to the bathroom alot. the least being 14 times a day the most being 16 times in 5 hours. This was at night so I don't sleep more then 5 hours ever without going to the bathroom. So I wonder does anyone have this pain come on then after a couple months go away and then come back after 2 months? Is the pain so bad you consider the ER? How do you cope with this pain. how does your families cope? I feel horrible for anyone who feels like me. This is a horrible thing to deal with. Since there are I think it is important to share and have someone to lean on cause sometimes family can;t undertand what this is like.
Thanks for reading
