Haven't been on in a very long time but here is update. From failed back surgery in 2012 (after a year of hesitation) I chose the dorsal column stimulator. Had surgery 12/12/14. I was having lots of pelvic pain now. Messaged rep and scheduled to meet but before we could went to gyno. Looks like from the Nova Sure procedure(2010) I have blood pooling in uterus. Not confirmed as waiting on ultrasound on Monday. I think the vibration made it show up now. This pain is very severe and I have read lots of people have to go to er. I can believe that . I guess I was managing due to taking some breakthrough pain meds up until med January. When I stopped those all heck broke loose.

Do you ever feel like "will this cycle ever end?" I feel like I roll from one problem to the next since 2010. I need a break. I think doctors get out the wet rock and start sharpening knives when I walk in. lol

Hey bigcase.Hate to hear you're having these problems.

It seems as if the majority of people on here who have had surgery are having more problems "post surgery".

That makes me dig my heels in deeper to put off any back surgery.

I hope you get some relief and get repaired somehow.

God Bless,

Rick

Hi Bigecase,
I am sorry that you are feeling so bad and having to go thru yet another issue or problem.
You know, yes, sometimes it does feel like it is a vicious circle that we live in. If it's not bad enough we have to deal with the leftover mess from surgeries that really didn't seem to go so well, to problems causing problems and symptoms causing problems, etc. etc..
It's like da#*it, enough is enough!
Hang in there though, wait and see what the scan shows and then move on in the best way possible. Always look out for your behalf because ultimately only you can be your best patient advocate.
Stay strong,
Pam

I think my doc knows. He ask very few questions and hit the spots to set off pain instantly. He put on antibiotic as if to prepare of hysterectmy. I hope it is nothing more serious. Get this stuff out and move on.

I'm with Rick here,over the years it sure seems I see more post-op issues and I have dug in,hid and use distraction therapy every time one of my Drs mentions surgery of any kind.

Sure hate to see your still having problems.

Hope all turns out well for you.

Been fighting this back pain since 2012 and finally went with scs. This too causes back pain. But I have horrible leg pain. This is causing top of legs to hurt so bad. Also I can't get potassium under control. I freeze. I live in south. Lol. I wonder , what if any of this is related. I work full time but come home and go straight to bed an curl up in a knot. Weekends are spent in bed as I want to make sure I am prepared for the next week. We have one office that has a couch in it and it empty most days so I can take a break and go lie down. I sure hope to get answers fast. haha We are talking about having to have tests and procedures and then wait on calls!!!

I've always believed that a person should only have one disease or disorder. Apparently we are all over-achievers.

I hope things begin to settle down.

Test showed just what he thought. Blood pooling in uterus and also a cyst on right ovary. Scheduling hysterectomy for next week. Good thing is he has the da vinci robot here so it will not be too bad.
