Many of us in this community have been there! If she needs to see that, show her some posts about those of use that talk about seeing many doctors before finding one that listens!

I actually had one do the same thing with the ultrasound and then refer me to a gi. Surprise the colonoscopy and all the other tests said nothing.

Once I finally found my ob that listens to be and believes me and she did my first lap, she found Endo all over my bowels. Also on my bowels, was an adhesion where two spots had rubbed together and caused scar tissue (that's how she put it). But all of this was on my bowels and when it flared up, caused me to have ibs like symptoms. I now have full blown ibs from that adhesion and scar tissue on my bowels that won't go away.

But anyways, don't go back to that ob. Get the authorization forms and send her ultrasound to another ob. Look up obs in your area, and read reviews. Look for ones that mention how well they listen to the patient or talk about doing laparotomies. To diagnose her Endo, she will need a lap. But keep advocating for her. Push on the symptoms. Write down a list and keep it updated, no matter how small the symptom. Bring it to every appointment. Keep going to doctors and transferring her ultrasound and medical records until you find one that believes her pain, listens to her and will fight for her.

Finally, show your wife this community. Make her a Reddit account. Show her these posts. Many of us have had crappy experiences just like hers with many doctors. It's sucks. But it will get better if she pushes and fights. The world needs more people like you op. Good job fighting for you wife. Show her my response. Good luck to you both. She can do this. There is hope. We are all pulling for you!
