Pelvic Pain

Hey T....

sorry to hear you're in pain. I had my daughter in March of '06 and then got pregnant again in July of "07. I was having similar pain in the pelvic area. I also had a c section with my daughter. I thought it was just bc i got pregnant so soon, but it turned out to be an ovarian cyst. Very painful. The dr's said I should keep it in until I had a csection with my second baby, but it ended up torsing when i was 5 months pregnant and I had to have an emergency surgery. They removed my entire ovary bc I waited. (they told me to wait). Now all is well with my children and my body, but it is no joke. If u are feeling that pain, I would go get an ultrasound and have it checked out. You never know. Good luck.

I had a C-section that was a long painful recovery also. I ended up getting an MRI to find an abdominal hernia and diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles). Educate yourself on all possibilities and insist that your doctors rule them out. There IS a reason for the pain. Don't give up and good luck!

Hi T.
yes i had the same pain that u are talking about ..but mine came from the dr pushing my daughter back up in me after she had crowned to do the c-section and he missed up all my insides.. i finally found a dr in macon that helped me when she was pushed back into me it separated my tubes and then they wrapped around other organs and that was causing all my pain. i had surgery done and it was a great relief... the dr's name in macon is dr bucca i think that is how it was spelled and dont know if he is still there or not.... but the office in in the medical center hospital if u know where the mcdonald's is in the hospital when u come up the hall back toward the hospital main floor you take the first hall to the left... cant remember the office name but there is like 5 dr's in the same office... hope this helps some ...

T.,

If you had a c-section, it is probably scar tissue. My daughter is 12 and after my c-section with her I used to have severe pain in my navel area. It would literally stop me cold and bring tears to my eyes, like someone was pulling a cord from inside. My doctors couldn't say definitely what it was but concluded that it was scar tissue from the c-section, which can cause an array of problems for women and presents in many different forms. It just stopped after a year or so. BUT that being said, you need to get a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinion if necessary. Pain is an indication of something, so you need to figure out what it is. If your doctor isn't finding anything, go to someone else, go online and do research yourself so you can offer them some possibilities. Remember doctors are "practicing medicine and they are practicing on us. But you are the best student of your body.

Get a second opinion! And, a third if necessary!

Hi T.,

I crowned and had a c-section also and ended up with a hernia. My little one was large for my size and the doctor said that that will sometimes weaken the wall and tear. I could only take steps about 4-6 inches at a time and felt like I was going to die. It was small enough that it wasn't found for a while.

I really hope this isn't it but thought I would throw that out for you to think about...

Regards,

M.

Hi T., I have had 3 c-sections and after my last one a year ago. I was the same way. I keep telling my Dr. that I was have pain about 1-2 inches down from my belly button. THey said oh it's just from the c-section and I would have to let it heel. Well this past Nov. I had to have my pap done and found out that I had an abnormal pap and been throw 5 biopyscs. I just had to have a leep procedure done yesterday because I had serve precancer lesions. I was told that it is from HPV. I would get a second Dr. to look at you if your Dr. is not willing to look into it more. I hope this info helps.If you need to email me you can .
