What can I do with no ins with abdominal pain
Hello, I have been dealing with abdominal pain for years!!! Back in 2008 I had many procedures with my doctor and he couldn't find anything and just diagnosed me with irritable bowel, and none of the medicines helped. In 2010 I had my first daughter and was also told I had ulcers around the lining of my uterus. I was given medicine for that, and he never checked if they went away. Since then I have dealt with the pain and there are times that it worse and times I can't do anything but just cry. I have had two more kids, within the past 4 months I've been to the er numerous times for the pain, I've lost weight, the pain radiates into my back and I'm nauseated don't eat much. When I do I only take a couple bites. And they first thought it was my gallbladder but that was ruled out. I saw my moms doctor and she believes after 5 weeks of seeing me and not really doing anything that I have endometriosis. What are the chances of me having that? Most the time I can't do anything cause the pain is so bad, and Tylenol and ibprofen don't touch it. What do I do. I might add that I do not have ins. And barely scrapping by financially. I don't have the money to go to the doctor but I can't keep living in this pain. Any thoughts?

Hello, I hope I can help answer a couple of your questions.
Yes it is possible for you to have endometriosis. The pain you are describing could be it or it could be many other things.
I am trying to understand what you mean by "ulcers" on the uterus. Do you have surgical reports for these procedures?
If it is Endo you would need to have surgery to 100% diagnose it through biopsy. There are medications you can try if that is not an option such as Visanne, Lupron or various other forms of birth control to stop your periods. Once you stop the periods it should help with the pain. However sometimes that does not work if the disease is not removed. Everyone responds differently. I would not take medication for a disease you don't know you have either so that is a tough situation.
Have you had your thyroid tested? I am just thinking about that when you said you have lost a lot of weight.
Some women like myself had more pain after giving birth. My symptoms were through the rough after that so that is also an indicator as well.
I am not a doctor just a patient advocate.
