Saw the gyno today. She agrees with the ER dr.'s that it's prob either scar tissue or endometriosis. She is putting me on birth control for the next three months--if it's endometriosis (depending on how bad it is) the birth control might help. If it's scar tissue, it won't. In three months, 12/31 to be exact, if I haven't had some improvement, I will have to have surgery. She will insert a camera into my lower abdomen and have a look around to figure out exactly what is causing all the pain and other issues. If endometriosis is there, she will scrape it out. If it is scar tissue, she will have to cut it out, and possibly other things, depending on what the scar tissue is wrapped around. I don't want to deal with any of this, just frustrated with it all.
I have been fighting some swelling in my abdomen which makes me upset because some of my new clothes no longer want to fit right. I know it is swelling and not weight gain because, even though I'm not weighing in, I'm watching the scale and am technically maintaining pretty good. Gonna start back on my diet next week and just work on what I can control--my weight! Maybe getting the rest of my extra weight off will help things in the long run. Doesn't hurt to try! :)
