I feel like I see these types of posts a lot here. Looking for any similar experiences. I appreciate this doesn't substitute advice from a doctor.
I had a 4h laparoscopy 3 months ago to treat endometriosis. During the procedure they changed my Mirena. Since then I've had ongoing pelvic pain worse than before surgery. Hospital advised me things may get worse before getting better and not to worry etc.
About two weeks ago I experienced bad pain on my left side. Couldn't walk without crying and suddenly started bleeding which is unusual for me. Spent the night shivering with a fever, but it was around Christmas time and wasn't easy to see a doctor. I waited it out and it seemed to improve, but then beginning of last week I had the exact same thing again but keep getting feverish and have barely been able to eat for a week. Saw the GP who just ordered blood tests and went to a sexual health clinic yesterday who said I'm showing signs of PID probably caused by the operation and gave/injected me with strong antibiotics. They told me I need a scan and I happen to have a routine one booked with gynae to check on things after the op on Wednesday. So they sent me home, told me to take antibiotics, and said if it doesn't improve quickly or gets worse to go straight to A&E.
Last night was shivering again but I've only been taking antibiotics for one and a half days. Left side feels like its about to explode cus there's so much pressure.
Really not sure whether to wait things out with the antibiotics or take a trip to A&E. I assume they won't be able to scan me there and they'll just tell me to carry on with the antibiotics. I have a scan booked for Wednesday anyway so I'm just sat here feeling like an awful mess. Really worried about wasting their time.
