still in pain
An update to my post last week. After being discharged from the hospital with right abdominal pain, I was told to see a urologist because I most likely had kidney stones. Well, on Tuesday's appointment, the doctor completely ruled out kidney stones. This would normally be a good thing, but I want to know what is causing the constant pain in my right side. I would attribute them to pregnancy pains if they came and went, but this is a constant pain that I have had now for 10 days. I had another appointment with my OB today, and she sent me off to a surgical consult to rule out any problems with my appendix. She didn't really think this was a problem, but she wanted a second opinion. The surgeon send me to get an ultrasound on my appendix and my gallbladder. Results came in negative for gallstones, but they could not really see my appendix on the ultrasound. He said while he didn't think it was a problem with my appendix because of the length of time I had been in pain he couldn't be sure without giving me a cat scan. He didn't recommend me getting one, and pretty much said that if I develop a fever or the pain increases to call him immediately and we would move forward from there. So after another 2 hours in the hospital, I still have no answers, I am still in pain, and I feel like I am failing at being pregnant. I know I am not making this pain up, it is there, it hurts and it is constant. I know I am not whining just to get attention, but I feel like the doctors are not taking this seriously. Now I am only almost 24 weeks, and I don't want to do anything to harm this baby, but I am getting scared, worried and upset. I am constantly frustrated, I don't want to go to classes, I don't want to get out of bed and I don't know what else I should do.
