@Welshandpro just checking in to see how you're doing, please consider calling your GP again it going back to A&E if the pain is getting worse, it's still another 5 days until your scan, I'm thinking of you every day

Hope you're ok @Welshandpro Wine

IncessantNameChanger · 29/11/2021 22:28

I hope you get some answers today. I am still waiting to see what is causing my symptoms. Sometimes I do wonder if things dont jump out at the gp they just want to say "unknown cause" rather than investigating right now. Anyway I hope they find something simple like a fibroid that's easy to remove

cultkid · 30/11/2021 07:35

How was it my love xx

BruiserWoods · 30/11/2021 08:06

I have a feeling that they kept you overnight.

Apologies for being invested in to what you discovered yesterday. Don't feel you have to come back and give us a gift wrapped resolution . I am sure that you're still waiting for this test or the other test!

hazandduck · 30/11/2021 08:34

Hope you are ok, OP. Have been following your thread and thinking of you x

Orchidflower1 · 30/11/2021 18:53

I do so hope they were able to give you some information and hopefully peace of mind @Welshandpro. I too have been thinking of you. 💐

Welshandpro · 30/11/2021 23:24

Hi all - well I had my scan and my overlies and womb look fine according to the radiographer .. I had an external and internal done .. although I am happy it's nothing sinister I'm also upset as I still don't know what it is .. the only think left now is gastro which is an 18 month wait

OP posts:
MissSmiley · 01/12/2021 06:55

I'm so pleased for you that it's nothing sinister, what a relief for you, although it's still a mystery. Is it the same all the time or does it vary at all with what you eat?
