Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Hi (nameless :-) Have you considered having an MRI or CT scan of the whole torso? The bodily trauma of the D & C might have convulsed the bowel or twisted a phelopian tube or you could have ashesions thickening from an inflamation of the uterine wall if it was accidently nipped. Have a blood test, your white blood cells count (lymphocytes) will be raised if you are fighting infection in which case a swollen lymph gland could also be pressing on something. Start the tests, you'll find it. Skye > > Hi all, > Here's my story: > I have three fibroids. The fist physician I went to described them as > being the size of a lemon, a wall nut, and a pecan.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Someone in here suggested that my symptoms sounded more like Adenomyosis. I hadn't read much about it before, but you might also be interested in reading more about it. http://www.fibroids.net/html/adenomyosis.htm Perhaps this might be what is causing your pelvic pain. As I understand it, it's very hard to detect, but can cause an awful lot of discomfort. Good luck to you. Tricia Pain from D & C?? Hi all, Here's my story: I have three fibroids. The fist physician I went to described them as being the size of a lemon, a wall nut, and a pecan. After undergoing a D & C to " thin the lining " of my uterus and " detect cancer cells, " 0n April 30 ,2001 I have been experiencing severe to moderate pain to this date. The first Physician after performing the D & C wanted to perform a myomectomey or so she said. But she explained that I might need a hysterectomy if she found cancer cells after " opening me up " or if I bled excessivly. I became terrified and cancelled the surgery. This surgery would have involved a " bikini cut " that looked more like I would have been sawed in half horizontally. I went to a second physician who told me that my fibroids were small and were not the cause of my pain. I was told that they are the equivlent size of small change " two nickels and a dime. " He read the report that I had obtained from the first physician but his interpretation was vastly different. He also sent me for a second ultrasound which confirmed that the fibroids are in fact small. The technician also told me she did not think the fibroids were the cause of my pain. At this point I am extremely uncomfortable becausue of pain. All I am able to do is barely drag myself to work. So of course there is a quality of life issue. I was given prescriptions for three different antiinflamatory drugs which are not helping. One pharmaceutical-- Ponstel-- caused me to vomit through out the night. I am trying to do as much research as possible, but am hampered by this pain. Does anyone have information about determining the cause of pelvic pain. The second physician I went to does not know what is the cause. I read that samll fibrids can in fact cause pain.But how is it determined that the small fibriods are the cause of pain? I don't trust the first physician I went to because of her exaggerations or more accuaraely lies. Does anyone know about D & Cs and the relationship to fibroids? Could the D & C be the cause of this pain? I have undergone a biopsy and a D & C: Cancer cells were not found. Any input you have is appreciated. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 > Could the D & C be the cause of this > pain? I had a D & C by my second doctor and didn't have any pain from the procedure. My 3rd doctor, when I told her that I was having pain (like majpr cramping), said that it usually means the fibroids are shrinking. But, I've had pain off and on for over a year and the fibroid has only shrunk while under the Lupron. I have also heard from a doctor (and we talked about this the other day) tha smaller firoids can actually cause more pain than larger ones. I had incredible pain yesterday where I couldn't even stand up and about an hour later passed a lkarge clot. Maybe, and I'm just guessing from my experience, the pain is from the blood gathering inside your uterus? I wish I could help you more but know that I've been there and going through it now. Good luck. Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
