Hi everyone
am feeling a bit anxious and googling way too much anyway so thought I would post here to see if that will half calm me down!
just to let you know - I am already under the care of a gynae and gastro.
i have been having some gastro symptoms that have been a bit more regular for the past few months. That is not uncommon for me but they have just ever so slightly ramped up. Lots of on and off mild shooting pains and more belching and some indigestion and some days going to the toilet more often. I took lots of blood tests (including CA125 which was normal) and am waiting for stool test results this week then gastro will decide whether I should have a gastroscopy or colonoscopy.
i have this one are in pelvis though that I can feel sort of like a hard small pea lump. There are lots of lumps but there is one that is harder and can also sometimes feel sore. Have though lymph node, hernia, varicosity….but I had an ultrasound just before summer internally and externally and when they looked at the exact area that I said has felt uncomfortable they say they can’t see anything….
i had a pelvic mri this week (refused contrast but that a whole different story why) and I was called yesterday to say I need to come back for another one with contrast as they can’t quite see what exactly the nodule that they have found is! They say it’s between bladder and peritoneum. I was told I shouldn’t worry and they just want to be able to label it but I can’t help but think the worst. Although logic is telling me that if the consultant is saying she is not worried then I shouldn’t worry! I have gone down a deep dark Google rabbit hole and am this is occupying my entire brain.
for background info- I have had several c sections, have mild adenomyosis on my uterus, have had bladder surgery for rupture!
do again my logical brain is trying to tell me it’s scar tissue or even endometriosis. (I get dull pains in pelvis) I don’t have anything on ovaries, and uterus clear (had polyps removed earlier this year)
anyone had anything similar and have some thoughts that might hopefully calm my worried mind?
