Subject: RE: BS: My tummy hurts - doctor says no....
Hi all thanx for your lkind words and sdvice.

Yes my disappeareance from here was to do with pain, I couldn't go back to A&E coz had the kids to look after and no-one else could do it (parents went to my grandads for the night - knowing I was/am in pain) and even had to go shopping on saturday - which made pain worse and I felt as lose to fainting as I ever have been in my life.

I tried to get GP appointment toay, but no such luck until tomorrow - it has to be a male GP or I will be waiting until Wednesday.

I'm noew feeling really fed up and whoozy on the painkillers - which aren't taking all the pain away.

I have a mirena IUD (plastic one which doesn't get imbedded, and is in the right place at moment, and excretes hormones to stop heavy bleeding etc) so - whether that would affect cysts on ovaries I don't know.

Secondly the pain more or less is in the same area, but covers the area of my hand. The area I speak of, is if you place your hand on your hip/around the waist, but the pain is inside my body, not near the outside, it also affects my back abit.

I have not stopped feeling light headed and sick and nauseous since Friday, and have almost thrown up a couple of times, but my body doesn't want to let go of it's contents. (Everytime I'm sick, I will hold it in until I can do so no longer!).

I had no-one to help me or get me to the hospital over the weekend.
And now I'm too tired and in too much pain to care.

Now the pain is not as extreme with the pain killers - I decided to put slight pressure on the painful area, hten take my hand away quickly- as this seems to be an important test for the doctors and nurses. It hurts more when I put on the pressure, then disappears when I let go quickly, for it to return about 5 seconds later with avengance.

I also seem to have a constant pain, like someone poking me with the end of a pencil. Occasionally a pain spark comes off of the main area and shoots through my side, or my back or to the left side of my body, then it is gone. The mother pain remains though.

Once again, thank you for your thoughts. Quite right a pain like this is a sign that something is wrong.

Anyway, I'm off to the GP tomorrow, my mum has offered to come, I think it will be best. And then I'll keep you all updated as and when I can.

Once again thanks all.
