Severe ongoing pelvic pain

[JoanneQ89]

Hi,
I had a failed medical termination in June, the tablets did not work to open my cervix, I had contraction type pain but only very minimal bleeding. I called the aftercare line every few days with pain (initially) and ongoing pregnancy symptoms but was told that as I bled a little bit after the tablets that they believed the abortion to be complete. After 5 weeks I was told to come in for an ultrasound which did show that the abortion had failed and I had the surgical procedure that day. Following the abortion I had very, very minimal bleeding for roughly 20 minutes (did not fill a sanitary pad) and I had the contraceptive implant fitted at the same time.

I started having pelvic tenderness about a week or so (roughly) after the surgical abortion. I attended my GP who did a urine test to check for a urine infection which was clear. I also had a smear test at that appointment but when I called for the results I was told the sample had been mislabelled and therefore could not be sent for testing. The smear has not been repeated since.

I also started getting urticaria covering my body daily around the same time this began. After attending the doctors for months I was told this was now chronic urticaria and antihistamines have helped with this. However, the pelvic pain has persisted - I would describe it as more of a very deep heavy ache in my pelvic region which is constantly present The pain becomes very very intense and sharp at times, particularly recently. I have continued to go back to the GP who did a blood test to check for IBS (this came back clear. I was also prescribed antibiotics for IBS, however these had no effect whatsoever and my pain does not seem in anyway related to eating or bowel movements.

I have been referred to the gynaecology department at the hospital, however this appointment is not until the 23rd of March. I am now in agony, I am struggling to sleep, eat or walk. When I do get to sleep the pain is waking me up and I am also experiencing nausea. I do not see how I can carry on like this until my appointment on the 23rd. I have been back to see my GP today, however I was told the tests they have done have been clear and that I should continue to take ibuprofen. I was asked ''what are you expecting when you keep coming back?''. I don't know exactly what I'm expecting but I'm expecting them to do something!

I have requested an STI test as I have a yellow discharge which is getting heavier, however the results of this are not back yet. I also enquired today about PID however my GP said she does not think it is that as ''if you have had PID since you started coming 7 months ago it would have been all over your body and in your blood now''. I am now at a loss and my quality of life is being massively affected. The pain is continuing to get worse as time goes on.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Go to the ER tell them the pain is too severe to live with!
