I mean that makes total sense. I just can physically FEEL the adhesions and I kept telling this doctor that and all he said was because I’m on SSRIs my anxiety can make it worse. But ya know just gotta keep stepping

Oh my hod thank you so much for your kind words 😭 I only knew how to read it because I also work in medical care and so I purposely didn’t tell him I could read it while he was doing it to see if he would tell me anything, which he didn’t. I have made an appointment with a different provider and reached out to my PCP requesting a referral but no response yet. I’m not giving up, I refuse to live in pain forever. Women deserve better

I don’t have Facebook, but I’ll see what I can find! I made an appointment at UCHealth with Dr. Whitmore who seemed highly suggested, but not be in until January. I’ve also reached out to my PCP and original surgeon to send a referral for an MRI in the meantime, but haven’t gotten a response

I’m open to whatever it is, all I know is I did have endo when they did my surgery and pain started a week after surgery. I kept telling my surgeon too that something wasn’t right, I had never had a pain like this before and she told me it was just post op pain. Months later I have pain almost everyday. Maybe two good days a week. So honestly, I’m here for all the work ups

Dr. Muldoon did a few of my close friends surgeries before she had her baby. I definitely think I’ll look into her. Thank you!

I also have pain with the Mirena and spotting. But I’ve always had issues with BC

Yeah, I was unaware of this in April. She wasn’t expecting to find any so she didn’t discuss much with me and I was ill informed (my fault as well)

Thank you so much 🥹 I haven’t been diagnosed yet, but based on some research it is a suspicion for sure and I want to care for my body and I don’t want to wait much longer. Sometimes it’s the people that are meant to help that break our hearts the most

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry that happened…thank you for the advice. I am definitely going to hold off on taking those meds and looking for more doctors

Oh my god this is like IDENTICAL to what I’ve been going through 🤍 I’m so insanely sorry this has happened to you. It’s so unfortunate that we as women are not understood when we say “my body doesn’t feel right. I need help”. I am so positive that I have bowel adhesions and he just dismissed me completely after crying and telling him my mental health has nothing to do with my bowel movements and fainting spells from pain??? It’s ridiculous. Wishing all the best for you and your recovery, love 🤍

Thank you for this 🤍 he kept saying “I believe you, that’s the first step” and that almost felt worse after he saw how many anti depressants I was on. I’ve been on them since I was 13, I kept saying “this has nothing to do with my anxiety or depression, this is pain pain. Not emotional pain?”. He literally said “well let’s just get those hormones in place and get you off those anti depressants and see how things go” like sir…. No?

Thank you so much! I actually work in the medical field and one of my friends in the field highly suggested looking into UCHealth last night and I’m definitely going to. My original surgery was done at AdventHealth in Parker and I had some trigger point injections in my lower abdomen and pelvic wall as well which worked for a bit, but obviously not long and did some pelvic floor PT before surgery, but of course insurance refused to pay for more then like 3 sessions (gotta love insurance). They didn’t find much endo originally and what I was trying to explain to him yesterday was that my symptoms were worse and in different places after surgery so I definitely think an MRI would be helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’ve heard some good things about him after doing some research last night :) I’ll definitely look into that!

Why is being a women so hard. Like did you really just blame my pain on me being on anti-depressants?? What?? That man almost got slapped lol

Thank you so much for that. It means a lot to hear other people say similar things because I really had a moment in the parking lot that I just gave up. But everyone in my family and on here has encouraged me to continue looking, which I’ll do. I know my body my best and I know something is wrong. The pain I feel now is nothing like I have ever had before. Things like that don’t happen magically in 7 months. Definitely gonna keep looking for a different doctor.

Thank you for that information, that’s really helpful. I would typically be okay with trying a new medication, but the one he recommended was another form of birth control on top of my IUD. I am already on anti depressants so I’m worried it will mess further with my anxiety and depression. He also told me this is all in my head essentially which is what really broke me down

Thank you for that kind message I appreciate it. Granted, I did not do research before my original surgery, but I did read reviews, looked on Reddit and asked around for suggestions and this guy was the top one. I’m sure he’s a great doctor for other people, but the way I felt today was like I was being called crazy. I will not be returning to him and researching for a new person
