I started having pains 10 months ago, and
have seen 3 OBGYN's, and two specialists,
& no one can tell me whats wrong! I have
irritating lower abdominal pain, atleast
once a day it gets very very painful. I
have a very hard time passing gas or
having a bowel movement, my cramping is
every day and gets the worst when i have
my period. The doctors & specialists have
given me everything from stuff for
constipation, ultrasounds, muscle
relaxers, stuff to help the pain like
vicodin. I am now on a birth control pill
to help me stop ovulating because they
said the tests from the ultrasound said i
had a cyst on my ovarie & they think it
might just because of my ovulation & thats
what causes me the pain. But i am still
having the pain. My last pregnancy(which
was my first) i had a c-section & they
even thought it might be adhestion or
possible endometriosis. i have been on the
birth control for 2 months. they said give
it 3. What if somethings really wrong? any
ideas? Its been 10 months, im done with
this.
Also, for birth control, i used the
nuvaring... which i had problems with. And
i used the mirena twice.. and the second
time they thought i might have pain from
the mirena possibly piercing my cervix..
but they didn't do anything about that..
they just took it out and said lets see...
..I dont know if this could be related,
but i get nausea and also my breasts are
very tender.. sometimes painful to the
touch..Im also having problems once in a
while controlling my bladder. It just
randomly leaks and i dont even feel the
urge. Any ideas!
Presence of extra-uterine endometriosis
could cause symptoms like yours (lower
abdominal pains that get worse during the
period). You may need abdominal ultrasound
and laparoscopy to find out the reason for
your symptoms. When there is ovulation
periods are usually painful but in case of
endometriosis the pains are more severe.
Birth control pills prevent ovulations and
relief the pain.

Well yesterday i was finally imited into
getting a CT scan that my specialist
refered me for. I did not like the iodine
at all, and am still feeling nausea and
pain in my kidneys.. dont know why.. or if
its a sign of an allergy. But i've been
resting a lot, hoping that will help. I
should be getting the results in about 2
weeks.. and i cant wait! The specialist
seems to be very strong on his opinion
that this is nothing and that we wont find
anything. He says if nothing shows up in
the CT scan that he will refer me for a
laporoscopy. He believe strongly that it
is due to my "stress" level.. and wants to
put me on meds. I have had depressed
problems since i was about 15-16 and have
gotten a huge handle on it, i have also
been in counceling for a little over a
year and i have seen a huge difference.
So i am not very happy with that
diagnosis. But we will see what happens
when the results come in.
What do you assume this pain is after the
iodine injection??
