slredma's Journal

Well, I called my pain specialist and told them I couldnt wait any longer for my results so a nurse came on the phone and told me my MRI came back unremarkable. She said there waas nothing wrong and they did my entire back not just the lower part. I told her I  was going to call my endo specialist to go back in to see him and that I  would keep my appointment for the 30th to see him to get my records to take to my endo specialist. I called my endo doc and the nurse said she would talk with doctor tomorrow since he isnt in today cause the notes said if the pain specialist cant find anything he wants to do a laparotomy. I thought he was going to do a laparoscopy but I'm having a lot of bowel problems so its the better way to finding a solution to my pain.He's 2 hours away from me so it saves me on a 4 hour drive both ways for him to tell me he wants to do a laparotomy. I know I have adhesions but they were never biopsy during the first laparoscopy. I also know durring that procedure he never looked behind my rectum for endo. This time I will finally find my answers I've been looking for and help with the pain I'm in. I  also need to get off of estrogen and he will have to help me with that. I'm not sure what to take to keep me from my hot flashes and to lead a normal life in that area. I'm hoping for a normal life and not to be taking pain pills all the time just to functon daily.
