off-topic: pelvic pain--I need help

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know anything about Pelvic Inflammatory Disease? I haven't been diagnosed with it or anything, but I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with me. I have severe pain originating around the area of my ovaries and radiating around my hips, and down into my groin and thighs. It has gradually gotten worse over the last couple years. It started with really bad sharp pains (in addition to bad cramps) during my period, but within the last 6 months it's gotten to be any random day not related to my cycle. When I don't have the pain, I don't think about it, but when I have it, it's ALL I think about. I just had an ultrasound that did not show anything abnormal. My new doc wants to see if the Prometrium (progesterone) I'm starting this cycle (because my P was tested low) will help. If not, she suggests another laparoscopy and a cystoscopy to check for endo

and IC. That's fine and it may be that I have one or both of those, but I'm about ready to cut myself open and get the pain out myself! (I'm exaggerating, of course, but I really am at my wit's end with the pain.) The only other thing I've been thinking about is the possibility that my uterine ligaments are just so stretched out and weak from my pregnancies that they just don't support like they're supposed to. That maybe this is a structural issue? Any thoughts from you knowledge ladies? Becky
