Subject: Stomach pain in Colon area
> In October 2000, I began having a sharp pain to the left of my right hip
> (around the area of my ovaries). I had a sonogram done which showed a
> cyst on my right overy. The pain didn't go away, and continued, so I
> went to my OB/GYN since I thought it was ovary related. The cyst on my
> right overy was gone (ob/gyn believes it was just me ovulating) but the
> continued. She did tests to see if it was appendicitis, which came back
> negative. I had a lower CAT done, a procedure to check my kidneys, 2
> more sonograms, and finally they decided to do a laporoscapy (my
> aplogies for any mis spelled words).
>
> During the surgery she found that my colon was adherered to my abdominal
> wall. She removed the colon from the wall, took out my appendix since
> she was in there, check my uterus and overies.. and closed me up... and
> I thought I was fine.
>
> The pain came back in January and has been getting worse as days pass.
> Could it possibly be that the colon has re-adhered? Why does it do this?
> Will it keep doing it all my life? By not getting it removed, could
> something serious happen like a tear in my colon? We just moved to a new
> state and I don't have health insurance yet, and there is simply no way
> that I can possibly afford to go in and get this looked at until I do
> have insurance (the last round was over $25,000). Any help you can give
> me is very appreciated.
