Well - no answers yet…
about what is going on with me. I saw my doctor again today - for a follow-up. The pain meds was not giving me any relief during my times of pain.
Saturday it was pelvic area pain with a couple of lower back and lower ab area shooting pains…. I immediately went to the doc and he immediately thought it was a kidney stone. Advised drink, drink, drink. I drank 3 liters of water Saturday afternoon. Eek.
Sunday, didn’t have any major pain other than some sharp shooting pains, still in the pelvic region. I drank 2.5 more liters of water.
Monday, I called to make the follow-up appointment for today… No more pelvic pains. I was having serious back issues, really lower back, like on top of the tail bone. Twice, I couldn’t get out of my chair and had to go to my knees, crawl, then stand. Yeah, I felt stupid but had no choice. I drank 3 more liters of water.
Wow, that means as of this moment I’ve drank 9 liters of water since 1pm Saturday. Woah. I’ve never in my life drank so much water. I wanted to “flush” that stone out - or whatever… so made every effort to drink as much water as I could.
Today when I was at the doc - he said the area of pain seems much to low for stones… and if my pelvic pain is gone, I likely passed the stone. I have no idea.
Tomorrow AM I go in for xrays of my pelvic area and my lower spine/back. The xray folks had already left for the day, today. Tomorrow, If the xrays don’t give me any information - I must undergo an internal ultrasound, he said, because it may be an ovarian cyst. Ugh. I gave another urine sample today and he said everything was good - but I did have a slightly high white blood cell count and that usually means infection. He said he didn’t think I had an infection tho… but would send it off anyway to be sure - will take a couple of days to hear back.
So… I still don’t know what is going on, what was going on, or what will go on. I do know my lower back hurts so bad at times I can’t move. I didn’t have this over this weekend - so not sure if it’s related to the OMGosh-I-think-I’m-dying-Saturday-morning-rush-to-the-doctor deal.
Prayers much appreciated. Unknowing stinks and I am anti needle, anti doctor, anti everything pain related and dread going through whatever I may have to go through. Makes me nervous.
The good news I did hear - He told me to go have myself a DP - so that is what I did - went straight to Sonic when I left his office. =) Mm, it was delish. LOL I hadn’t had but like 3 sips of a Dr Pepper in 3 long days. Talk about headaches. Ugh.
Well, that’s it…

Oh, dear, I am so sorry that you are still in pain. It really stinks if you don’t know what is going on. I grateful that you posted an up-date. I’ll keep you in my prayers.

Sending up a prayer for you right now.
By any chance, do you think it could be endometriosis? I had it so bad, and it could press on nerves and everything. I had a hysterectomy last summer and it helped a lot on things that weren’t even “female” related.
Best wishes.

That sounds like what my mom had a couple years ago. It would come and go, and the doctors couldn’t figure out what the problem was for about 6 months. It ended up to be her gall bladder (and then she needed emergency surgery to remove it).
I hope you feel better!

You have a mysterious pelvic pain and I have a mysterious pleural rub that won’t go away… let’s be praying partners… “United we stand…”

Oh dear, that can’t be any fun at all.
I hope they find out what the problem is and that it isn’t anything serious.
Take care TN.

find a good massage therapist, and utilize them, sometimes this sort of pain is not internal, but muscular, and can be released in massage of pressure points.
i will pray for you
April 26th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Keep us informed, TNC! Good luck to you.

my prayers are with you, hoping it’s nothing more than the beginning of a kidney infection.

I’ve sent Reiki energy.

I’ve been away from the blog world for a few weeks…and thought I’d check out what Saturday’s theme was…ane lo and behold learned of your ailment.
I am SOOOO sorry. I have a tendancy to kidney stones ( had my first one at 27) and they are far FAR worse that childbirth. I’ve had both. I know.
I am totally lifting you and your medical team up in prayer.
Hope it all passes quickly ….laughing.
take care,
katherine.

I’ve been away for a while myself and really sorry to hear about what is going on. I’ve already said a prayer and will keep you in them. I sure hope they find out what is going on and quick. I really understand about the anti-doctor and all that.
Best wishes for a quick recovery,
