What’s wrong with me, hospital clueless

[elm26]

Yesterday at 1pm, I put my 6 month old on the rug with his toys and went for a wee.

As I was walking back I had a sudden severe pain in my right side radiating into my lower back and up to my shoulder, I was in agony.

I called DH who was luckily only on a job 15 mins away, he came straight home and took one look at me and called ambulance, I was shouting out in pain they gave me gas and air and morphine.

I had an emergency CT when dye last night and also have a catheter as lost the ability to wee. Nothing showed on CT, they got me settled on morphine and today I’ve had a transvaginal scan which shows ovaries and womb look normal.

Gynae can’t find a reason so they’ve stopped painkillers and just giving me paracetamol but somethings wrong I feel like somebody’s twisting my insides. The gynae consultant was horrible and said the surgical team will come see me if they think it’s worth it?? So I’m waiting for that if they come.

I’m in so much pain and genuinely scared they’ll send me home not knowing what is wrong with me.

Has anyone has anything similar?

Ive been in hospitals quite recently for myself, clients and families and I cannot remember about the notes!

Crikey this all sounds awful. I hope you have some good pain relief on board now and get some answers.

Wow! So my previous comment has been deleted.
Are people not allowed to express their opinions anymore?
I didn't use abusive speech or bad language, just expressed my opinion and it got deleted along with several others who expressed the same opinion as me...
I'm done with mumsnet now....

I suspect a lot of people agreed with you.

The low blood pressure is a red flag for a blood clot - someone mentioned it earlier. I had very similar symptoms last year, the first ambulance crew diagnosed a panic attack and told me to sleep it off. 3 hours later I was deteriorating, terrible pain in my chest and side, another ambulance crew called out, turned out I had a massive saddle pulmonary embolism and I was minutes away from death. Am ECG would be a good idea, I absolutely hate it when they fob you off, if you're anxious anyway you tend not to want to 'make a fuss'. Do keep us updated x

Cauda Equina Syndrome
has anyone mebtioned this?

Just say your latest update. I do hope you get some answers today, OP. You poor thing 😔 take care

You're taking it far too personally. The talk guidelines are really clear - any questioning of authenticity of poster gets deleted.

wait do people think I’m lying? If you search my username I’m a long term user of Mumsnet I’m genuinely as baffled as everyone else

Are you serious?
A person needs an operation and you talk about anxiety.
If you listen to the likes of Emma Barnett or Naga Muchetty they talk about their experiences of health services and not feeling heard.
All too often this is the case.
Look at maternity care too.

Oh my goodness im so sorry how are u feeling today? I had similar symptoms years ago and was rushed to hospital i had a ruptured cyst and also my endo had got quite bad.The gynaecology ward sent me home after a day and had to go private to find out what was wrong with me causing me so pain.I truly hope you get sorted asap sending hugs 🫂

Thank you for explaining @wracky
I don't post often so wasn't aware of this guideline/rule.

agh they'll probably have to delete my post now for referencing that. Apologies!

Sorry to read your latest post. Once you've found out what's happened and are more lucid you need to raise a complaint as there's far too much of this type of treatment going on.

Just because someone's got anxiety doesn't mean there's isn't anything more serious going on.

It's so easy to say it's anxiety. I spent a lifetime being told it was all in my head until I nearly died in 2001.

I hope you are OK @elm26 it's really horrendous how you've been treated, you need to put in a complaint definitely! But first get yourself better and we'll rested, endo is awful! Wishing you a speedy recovery and hopefully you'll fund out what's going on soon 💐

Find out not fund 🤦‍♀️

Hope you finally get some answers OP.

Sorry to read your update but hopefully now with surgery you'll get some answers today.

Sending virtual hugs. This must be so stressful for you all.

I’m very sorry about the way you have been treated. I hope it was something they have been able to completely sort out for you. Please let us know what they say later.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, OP. When you're better, I seriously hope you put in a complaint for medical negligence and inappropriate behaviour from staff. They shouldn't get away with this because they've potentially caused your health to deteriorate.

I hope they have gotten to the bottom of this. A friend of mine has endometriosis and she had a burst cyst on her ovaries. It caused her to her to he in crippling, excruciating agony and had the same symptoms you are experiencing.

So sorry OP. When you have recovered. Which I hope is soon, please raise an official complaint about how you have been treated. Sending you lots of love and hope you start to feel better soon xxx

It sounds like an endo surgery, I bled after mine because I had a tear from the uterus manipulation instrument
