Hmmm....stomach problems?

So, doctors are stupid.

Ever since I had the baby, Ive had this CRAZY intense pain that comes and goes (often) in my stomach. I cant even begin to explain what it feels like...but its not normal. Also, other things are associated with it, but i'd rather not say...
Anyway, I've been seeing all kinds of doctors about it, for almost 9 months now.....and I've finally heard something different.

I kept being told things like.....its pulled muscles in my rib area from delivery, its pulled muscles in my back from delivery, etc etc.....
Well, I finally found out with the help of a new doctor, that its actually something inside of my stomach. WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG....but nobody wanted to listen to me.

So, now Im terrified...because I really dont know what it could be, and im scared to find out.....I have to book an appointment for an ultrasound, 2 actually...cuz they wanna go in all kinds of areas.

Anyway, I guess I just wanted to rant about that :P and also wish me luck cuz im very scared :(

good luck with everything!
and i'm glad you found a doc that would treat it seriously rather than just make up an excuse... those kinds of docs annoy the heck out of me too :evil:

Hey that just happened to my mom!! She was sick for like, three years and doctors just kept telling her it was parasites or too much coffee. She just saw a new doc who tested her for Celiac disease.

I'm glad you can get proper help now!! It is so infuriating to have doctors tell you what's wrong with you when you intuitively know it's something else.

I am glad you found out what it is! I get really freaked out about doctor exams and stuff to, but it usually ends up not being as bad as I think it will be. Good luck
