Thread: my body is crazy-help!

Okay, so I'm new to this. So I will just say what's wrong, and if someone thinks they can help please do. Okay lets see I'm 23. For about 8 or 9 years i've been dealing with pain in my abdomin. Now since Dec. of last year I've been in and out of the E.R. I can't even count how many times, for pain. I am now on my second gyno. I have been told I have cycsist on my ovaries then told I don't. Endometriosis has been mentioned but not said to be the cause, also PCOS has been mentioned but not the cause. I have been on birth control, to help my hormones. No one has answers for me. Here, recently I have had breast tenderness. I also have had some very intense pain in my lower back and left shoulder. My pain gets to a point I can not stand or sit or lay. If I have one week out of a month without any pain at all I'm doing good. Any suggestions would be helpful.

OK.. I experienced the same things 4 years ago, went to 4 doctors and the ER. I finally went to my parent's geriatric doctor and she did a pelvic and told me that she didn't know exactly what it was but that she knew it wasn't good and sent me for a sonogram. During the sonogram they asked me 50 million times when my last period was (i have always had heavy flooding periods, spotting between periods, bleeding after intercourse, etc). Finally they told me that I had a 12 week ectopic pregnancy and rushed me to the ER to be prepped for emergency surgery. They found out it was rupturing so I was lucky to have had the sonogram that particular day. The pain I experienced before they found it was literally immobilizing. I could not move without feeling like knives were stabbing me all through my pelvic region. I had pain in both shoulders near my collar bones. I would feel like I needed to have a BM but nothing would happen except I'd get extremely nauseated. GO TO YOUR GYN NOW! Make them check and don't take no for an answer. If it's not an ectopic prgenancy, GREAT, but you can't take the chance that it's not, because it could kill you. I'm not trying to scare you, but it could be very serious. Good luck and keep us posted. I hope it turns out to be something thats alot simpler.
