Hi everyone, I have not posted for awhile because I have been in extreme
pain for the past month. I have not been able to find a doctor who will
listen to me, they all say that it is in my head, while I am suffering
terribly. I have had problems with adhesions and endo for the past 9
years now. I am 27 years old and have already had 5 surgeries, the last
one a complete hysterectomy. I had the hysterectomy a year and half
ago. I was okay during that time, I had spells from time to time, but
they only lasted a few day and I just gritted my teeth and bared it. Now
for the last month and half it is constant again and getting worse. I
finally found a gynecologist that listened to me today. He examined me
and found a mass on my right side, which he could also feel by just
touching my abdomen. He also said that I was very tender during the
entire pelvic examine which I knew already because I was crying
afterward.
He wants to perform a exploratory laparotomy as soon as possible to find
out what the mass is. In fact he set me up for surgery today. I am
just so afraid of what he may find in there. I know that the endo is
back, and there is no doubt that there are adhesions present, I am
worried more about the mass he found seeing I have no ovaries anymore. I
am skeptical about the surgery, but I am in so much pain, I am about
ready to just do it and get it over with. I am supposed to have surgery
next month, But I am very afraid. Can anyone relate to a mass coming
back after hysterectomy, and might know what this might be. Any
feedback would be appreciated. Thank you Stacey
