I am new here. I havent been dx with endometriosis yet but recently found out my mother had it so I started researching it & let's just say I don't feel crazy anymore. I've been dx with fibromylgia in 2004 so most symptoms that could have been related to endo was pushed off as it's fibro.
Here are my current issues.
July 2015- Left ovary area constant pain. Finally went to er. Cat scan, was told I have cyst on both ovaries.
Sept 2015- extreme pain, dx with uti was on a monday. Four days later I was hurting worse so I went back to drs office. They were afraid it was kidney stones. Follow day I was sent for internal ultrasound- was told I have cyst on ovaries & no kidney stones. After 10 treatment of antibotics still wasn't better. Dr told me I had high levels of ecoli so it will take longer to get rid of infection. Finishes 2nd 10 days of cipro. My stomach was swollen, I was having trouble emptying bladder, diarhea, nausea, pain in left area was shooting up under rib cage, I couldnt think clear. I go to er, (in Oct 2015) I had to give 3 samples of urine because they kept telling me it was containmated since there was white stuff floating in cup.
Go in to ER. That sounds terrible and shortness of breath not good. I just hope the ER does something for you. Hugs
So another cat scan. Cyst on ovaries, lymph nodes in stomach are inflammed, was told to go see my pcp. Long story short, they could have cared less. One dr said "what do you want me to do'. So now I have shortness of breath. Last month when my period is suppose to start I have brown discharge for 3 days with severe pain. Went to gyno, seen an nurse practitioner. I was cramping again but not discharging, my 02 sats was 91. Chest feels tight & shortness of breath. I've been complaining for years on right lung I get sharp pains if I cough a wrong way. Anyways pap smear came back normal, I had to get another ultrasound at end of my period to check for lining. So this time I went 5 days severe cramping with brown spotting, then 5 days reg period, stomach swollen, I have these bumps around the ends of my rib cage that hurt like hell. When feeling them it basically takes my breath away, oh have I mention how painful just passing gas is? Things started calming down, went for the u/s. Results were- cyst on ovaries, if you are still having issues please see a gyno in our office (instead of the np). Now my left side ovary area had been hurting since u/s. Started mild cramps, now it's worse, pain in lower back, stomach on left side swollen, today the pain is in my upper part of let. About 30 mins ago it's extremely painful to get out of my chair and walk. I haven't ate much cause of having to go to the bathroom. Idk what to do. I'm so sick of trying to find out what is wrong with me. Since I found out about my mother & doing research I've been trying to see if things were worse during period. I was ever on my period or just ended my period. I go to my new gyno appt this Friday and will give her more symptoms since now I'm aware its not just fibro. But do I need to be seen sooner with the pain I'm experiencing now?
