They thought it was kidney stones

So I am 38 years old and was diagnosed in my twenties. I struggle with endometrial cysts and had 3 laproscopies to remove cysts on left and right ovaries. Last time my fallopian tubes were removed from my bowels. Wound up in the hospital this week witht left flank pain going from front to back. Urgent care thought I had kidney stones and sent me to the hospital. They did a CT scan of adbomen and pelvis and didn't see stones. They couldn't do an ultrasound. Last four months pain was bad on left side. Only thing that resolves it is IV pain medication. I took prescription Ibuprofen. When I went to urgent care last month they gave me a shot and thought it was diverticulitis. I have a telehealth doctor appointment tomorrow. I am thinking of asking for a ultrasound to check for ovarian cysts and a referral to an incision surgeon. Anyone else have problems with left side flank pain? Unfortunately have not been able to get into to see Obgyn yet but this specialist I want to see does excision.

  1. , how have you been feeling since you last posted this? We hope you were able to get some answers from your telehealth appointment. So sorry to hear you have been dealing with all of this.

    I usually get right flank pain and it did not start until after my surgery. Not sure if it is adhesion or scar tissue or a cyst. I have a telehealth appointment in a few days myself!

    I would definitely recommend trying to get in to see that specialist for excision surgery! Sending you hugs <3 Hope you are doing well! -Kimberli (team member)

    1. HI ! Just wanted to check in on you. How are you doing? -Kimberli (Team Member)

      1. They put me on Northinthendrone and I shave no period. The medication seems to control the pain.

      2. Well we are happy to hear you have something that has been managing pain! We hope you continue to find relief 😀 Sending you big hugs. -Kimberli (Team Member)

    2. Hello, I want to share something. It's something very special.
      As you know, there is a waiting time in all good IVF n' Surrogacy clinics. The point is, that for almost a year I'm standing in line in one of them. This one is in Ukrein and is called Biotexcom. It's quite a good clinic, but life turned on and I do not need their services any more.
      And I want to resign my contract on your name. With just a little payment for that. I ask administrators not to delete my post because I just don't know how else to do.
