Abdominal/Pelvic Burning Sensation-What?

May 20, 2004

Hi Ladies-

I've been living with my large fibroids for years,

holding out and hoping they would shrink. It's not

only NOT happening, but I have this new symptom that

is very disconcerting and I'd appreciate feedback.

I have this burning sensation across my abdomen. It is

constant and very bothersome. Any ideas?

In general, I feel I have waited TOO long, living

in magical thinking and clinging to Dr. 's

words, that these fibroids would shrink. Instead,

though the bleeding has ceased, the pain, the

pressure, the hardness, the heaviness, the bloating

and this new burning sensation have taken over,

increased and even 400 mg. of motrin isn't putting a

dent in any of it.

Suddenly, I feel a need to have surgery NOW, even

if its a hysterectomy and before even a UFE sounded

too invasive. Unfortunately, I am in a lot of pain now

and scheduling surgery doesn't happen overnight.

Please help with any/all feedback.

Hi,Rita.

I only had burning sensations after serious stretching (like major

wallpapering) so if I were you and in constant pain. I'd go to the ER

asap and they'll give you somthing for the pain and maybe an x-ray

will help figure out your problem...could be something else that

maybe doesn't require surgery.

Please don't suffer needlessly.

Best wishes
