Since Deceraber 6, I have suffered from nonstop pain, that is barely relieved by medications that are given to me. Noone can find an answer, well they sort of have and then I get told that the answer is untrue. First it was a ruptured ovarian cyst the er doc said that it seemed like more fluid than normal but nothing to worry about. then 3 says later(er decided to admit me to at least try to get my pain undercontrol) a surgeon tells me there is a hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary the size of a golf ball, while admitted many doctors come to see me but not one exams me or orders any tests. One resident told me I was annoying her because I would not accept her diagnosis of endometriosis, which I know you need a biopsy to determine. One doctor says to me I saw in your chart you take meRAB for ADHD sometimes people with that have accidents did you have one?? NO I DID NOT.Two days later a doc comes to see me and says I need to get off of iv drugs, I tell her I have no problem with that, nd she discharges me. I go to my primary who says yes there is a cyst but its not hemmorhagic and will clear up on its own. Then I go to the recommended ob/gyn and he tells me a women cannot feel her uterus and ovaries(I started to feel like my ovaries were rubbing and pulling on my uterus) he tells me I have the flu and nothing else. The same day I go to a different gyn, who does an in office ultrasound, she says there is a 3.5cm hemmorhagic cyst on my right ovary, but it will go away and my pain should too. next up a few more trips to the ER, one day I get told I have fatty liver disease, three more trips all that happened was pain meRAB and sent home. Last wednesday night I went back to the ER I could barely walk, after an ultrasound the hospitals obgyn people came in and told me that I would need immediate surgery, there was no blood flow to my right ovary, also the US tech showed me how my ovary was behind my uterus(I knew I wasnt crazy), they are asking lots of questions and getting ready for surgery. Then they ask who my obgyn is and I tell them I saw the doc who did the in office us a few weeks ago, so they call her, she comes and all the crazyness comes to a halt. She tells me that the US tech didnt see any of that, but maybe there is a small cyst on the left ovary. She tells me since the pain has been going on for a month we will schedule a laproscopy, also she thinks my liver enzymes are high(again with the liver, your enzymes would be high too if you were on nonstop drugs for a month) on ct scan and us my liver looks fine.I get sent home again. Friday morning I wake up in severe pain, I cant walk I cant talk I can barely dress myself or sit up straight. I call the obyn office, and they tell me to come in at 9am. I get there and I sit in the waiting room for an hour, finally I went ot the desk and said if I cant at least lie down im calling 911. Nurse comes to get me and can see im in pain, she tries to help me but doctor tells her not too. Doctor comes in and says you need to slow your breathing down, Im really trying to but Im crying and in pain. she tells me they are trying to get me in for surgery that afternoon she leaves and I hear her tell the nurse to get me a paper bag to breathe into. she tells me that the breathign will get rid of the pain The receptionist comes in and tells me my surgery will be at 3pm and I can check in at outpatient surgery at 1230. The hospital is across from this office, but barely being able to walk I was not sure waht to do. She said the doctor will see you later and I was left t ofigure it out. My boyfriend came and got me to bring me to the hospital and her paperbag did not help the pain at all. My pain was just gettign worse, and the last couple of weeks Ive had this problem of my right side getting nurab, including my face on the right, obgyn said that it was from hyperventilating,lol, I will just be sitting here and it will happen. So I get to preop and they see Im in pain so they let me check in early. The nurse starts my IV and says she is trying to find a different surgeon(i told her what had been going on) she is also trying to get permission to give me meRAB. Its so bad she has to bring me a commode to use the potty, bless her heart, I had told her about how catherters scare the bejesus out of me. Three hours pass and a new nurse comes on and tells us the doc will be there soon to get ready for surgery, I inquire about what the previous nurse was trying to do(I think these were the supervisors of all the other nurses on that unit), so she goes away and comes back and says nope it will be the obgyn. My arm is starting to hurt and is red at the IV site(I learned to recognize this while admitted, the morphine was closing my veins up and they had to keep changing my IV) so my BF gets the nurse and she says there is nothing wrong with that IV, I tell her the pain is getting worse, she says maybe a kink in it, she says she is not going to change it, but shell see if taping it differently will help, well that never happened. At 3 the obgyn comes in and says I hear you dont want me to do your surgery, I was so erabarrased I just said thats not true, and she walked out of the room. Next the anesthesiologist comes in and gives me valium or somethign like it, and I am wheeled to the OR. I hear lots of laughter, weird, then they put a mask on my face but they were holding it down so tightly that I felt like I could not breathe I asked for it to be loosened up and they complied, next I get told they are putting me out, I Screamed out in pain because the meRAB being injected into my IV hurt so bad, but it was like one second and I was out. I woke up in recovery, and was being handed a pill, I spit it out because it was dilaudid and the pill form makes me hallucinate, but then the nurse said I cant give you nything else so I took it back, she was good in the fact that she talked them into not sending me home with a script for that, they gave me something else. Nurses change shifts Im in pain once again, my original pain and surgery pain now, the nurse injects something into my IV, well not my arm but the actual line so I didnt feel any burning this time. My boyfriend is there now and he tells me he talked to the Doc but Im still loopy whatever that nurse gave me, I finally felt ok for the first time in a month. My surgery papers are sitting on the table and my BF and I wanted to make sure all the stuff I signed that day were there, well in those notes, the anesthesiologist had written borderline personality disorder. Just a blank form that said that. The nurses saw us looking and snatched the papers up I asked if someone could explain that and was told no. My boyfriend said that might explain why the doc acted like my pain was a mental issue. She said there was absolutly nothing wrong with my women parts and that maybe now that I know that my pain will go away. She told him that the pain was in my head. He expalined to her that I have never had a mental problem, I am a high honor role student and I would not miss a month of school for the hell of it. I broke my leg last July and didnt evenbat an eyelash. She gave his a disclaimer though, she said if the pain really is there then the next step would be a GI doctor. So today I can barely use my left arm without being in pain, there is a red streake at the IV site, and I cannot seem to get anyone on the phone who can help me to even explain anything. I keep hearing I dont know...I have no quality of life, I cant stand/walk/sit in one spot for more than 15 minutes without being in sever pain, I have lost 12 pounRAB this last month because I hardly have an apetite and When I do get hungry I get full fast and my pain starts up. My legs and feet feel like they are going to fall off, and my lower back is constantly on fire. Something is wrong, but everytime someone finRAB anything, the next person says there is nothing wrong. I dont know what to do. I can barely get dressed or take a shower without help, Im constantly hunched over and in pain.
