Hi all. I just wanted to post some problems that I am having to get some opinions of what other people think is going on. For the most part, I feel fine, but I have a gut feeling that some kind of problem is in the works. So, if you think I am crazy and that all of this is in my head, just say whatever you wish.

1. I know that I am a depressed person, however I am not currently being treated. I took Wellbutrin XL for a few months 2 years ago.

2. Sometimes I get a burning/tingle-ing feeling on my right lower abdomen. This has been going on for the past 4 years. I have since complained about it several times (at a post partum checkup 3.5 years ago and about a year after that). I had 2 pelvic ultrasounds and both came back as normal. I usually get this burning feeling when I am laying on my left side for a few minutes or longer (this doesnt happen every time I lay down, but I especially notice it when I am laying in bed). The burning feeling goes away if I change position and lay on my back for example.

3. Whenever I turn my head to the side (either side) both sides of my neck hurt. Every time I look over my shoulder when driving to either change lanes or go in reverse.... I have this pain. I have noticed this for hte last several months and it is still on-going. I did not report this to my doctor.

4. Six months ago or so, I had a few bouts with tingling hands or feet/leg. I have only experienced this a few times... and nothing recently. I would sit in my computer chair, and after awhile it felt like hip on the right side felt funny, along with my right foot. I also had two or three episodes in my hand. I think it was only my right hand... but I could be wrong as I didnt think much of it at the time. I wasn't sitting on it or anything like that, it just kind of started to tingle. So I shaked it around and it went away eventually. Like I said earlier, I havent experinced this recently. This has not been reported to my doctor.

5. Urge to urinate. I have no pain at all when urinating and it is not something that is extremely urgent... my problem is that I feel like I need to pee when I just went to the bathroom within the last ten minutes. It is almost as if my bladder doesnt completely empty. If I do go to the bathroom, I can pee but only a small quantity of urine will come out. Often times I can delay going to the bathroom again for a few hours (since I had just gone within the last 10 minutes). I have noticed this problem within the last few weeks and it is still occuring. I have not reported this to my doctor.

6. Ok, for those of you who don't want to read about my bowel problems... skip this number 6....Ever since my daughter was born 4 years ago... I feel as though everything is not lined up right when it comes to having a BM. I did complain about this at an annual exam, I had a rectal exam, and the findings were normal. I think they were checking for something called rectocielie (where the rectum falls (or sits) in the vaginal canal). Anywho, sometimes I will push and the stool is right there... it just wont come out. If I press on my perinnium, it comes out just fine. I have on occasion had to insert a finger in my vagina to help put pressure on the stool to get it out. Most of my stools are small in size and in quantity and you would probably think it was my 4 year old who had just gone instead of myself.

So now, for your opinions. For me, it seems that all of these things by themselves dont really amount to anything. Also, I have had some things checked out in the past. I just feel that all of these symptoms mean 'something' and I cant just be imagining all this. The thing that concerns me the most is the burning/tingle-ing feeling I get in my pelvis...but I had it checkout out twice in the past. I dont' know... what do you guys think? Has anyone experienced all of these things as well?

Thanks so much for your opinions.

I think you need to go to a new doctor and report all of this to him. Every single thing you've been feeling.

Many times patients are mis-diagnosed or left completely untreated because they see one doctor for one condition and another doc for a different condition, and no one doctor gets to see the big picture. The symptoms seem connected to me too, so I'd definitely schedule an appointment with a doctor who is a woman's health specialist and have him or her look at your whole history of pain and treatment.
