K,
Uh-oh.................leave the doc's head where it is, while you kindly
exit his office, his life,
his ignorance and set yourself free from his advice.
I am kann@charter.net ; and will be glad to give you any info to help.

Subject: Help!
Hello, I am a twenty-five year-old female who has been suffering from
pelvic pain since I was sixteen. I have a long history of large ovarian
cysts and severe pelvic pain. I have had three laproscopies (two for
cysts and one for an appendectomy) and I had a c-section to give birth
to my two-year-old son. My last surgery was performed in November of
2002 and the surgeon only ruptured the cyst and left the sac in place.
About one month after the surgery I began to experience mild
intermittent pelvic pain that has worsened over the past few months. I
am now unable to live my normal life due to severely debilitating pain.
I am so tired of doctors telling me that the pain is in my head, or I'm
just having a period or even worse that the pain is absolutely normal
and I should suck-it up! I feel frustrated and cry constantly, if not
from the pain then the mere hopelessness of my situation. I don't know
if adhesions are the cause of my pain, but I think it is highly
probable. I could really use some helpful information to help my doctor
find his head out of his but (excuse the harshness) and actually help
me. Is a hysterectomy a possible option for such a problem or will it
only make things worse?
