Pelvic Pain
I suddenly started getting pelvic pain in the year 2005. It started with a simple urinary tract infection. I took the antibiotics and the infection went away. The pain never went away. Over the past 2 years, I have had (I think) every test I could have to find the origin of this pain and correct it. I have had: Ultra Sounds, Urodynamic testing, Cyscotopy, Laparoscopy, Pelvic MRIs and of course urethra dilation. All to no avail. The Dr.s can’t find anything physically wrong with me that would be causing this pain.
I am currently going to a Pain Management Clinic through Kaiser, and to be honest all they are doing is giving me narcotic drugs for my condition. I am taking Darvocet and Vicodin. I hate it!!! With the pain and the pills I have become a different woman in the past 2 years. I am depressed, I sleep a lot and I cannot hold a full-time job. I have tried to get disability but I was denied 2x. I am not getting any satisfaction from Kaiser and I don’t know what to do anymore. Does anybody please have some advice for me?
Sometimes I am at my wits-end as to what to make of my life.
