Im in so much pain!!

[qe76]

Last month I was sent to Orlando to a high risk place for my 20 weeks scan- said i was to fat and doc at home had to re do it- also something was wrong with my liver.. call my doc
So I did- and did and did- they wouldn't do anything .. I finally have my next appt today- no one even looked at my chart before I got there- they wont re do the scan- my maternity 21 results are still not in- they lost the results to the 24 urine test- and dont care that they did- and all I got was a script to geta scan on my liver- I've been calling them telling them that I am in alot of pain (right side- where liver is) they fucking couldn't fax this liver scan last month?? they made me wait a month to come in to give me this shit?? Im IN PAIN!!!!!

I have no clue how my baby is - I already switched doctors- its hard to find ones that take medicaid-
my friend who just had a baby goes there too and her doc goggles the baby's symptoms while she is sitting there and diagnoses her from google.. said she had the measles.
WTF?!?!
Doctors shouldn't get paid unless they earn it- Im so sick right now- i don't know what to do- I can't take the pain- It's making me so depressed.
I asked for a copy of my file and they said I have to wait a week and pay for it- I think its bull shit cause they didnt even let me see what info they do have on the baby- I have no clue how my baby is!
It's just sick- sick that they can get away with treating people like this-
the public vet my dog goes to is nicer- cleaner and more professional and care more then the place I go for me!!

Wow, that sounds like a big mess and I'm sorry you're dealing with this! If you're in pain and are not getting the treatment or attention you need, can you just go to the ER? I don't think pain and issues with liver are anything to mess around with! They can always bill you and hopefully figure out how to deal with the insurance later. I wouldn't wait or let them continue to give you the run around. Meanwhile you can also try to file a complaint - not sure exactly how to go about that but you're right, the way things are being handled is not right. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

I can go to the er- I tried in the past when the doctor wouldn't treat me and the ER told me they aren't a doctor - go back to my doctor and deal with it.
and the thing is , like this thing with my liver- they can see there is actually issues- I was right about the blood clots- my kidneys- ect.. so it's not like I make it up.. but I still cant get treated- the doctor before this flat out told me -this is a clinic, no one hear really wants to see you so stop being a brat- that was his response to me vomiting up blood cause they tried to switch my thyroid meds- and I had told them I can only take the natural (made from pig thyroid) that I cant tolerate the synthetics.
on top of it they have been doing test for weeks and each comes back that there is something wrong and then they just order more test!
I want to complain but I cant even find where I do that- I googled and got just the reg number to the health dept. I even asked there and they gave me the number to the head nurse and she is part of the problem- I want administration..

It's so hard to deal with anything when you are in non stop pain-

Can you change doctors again? What a rubbish situation you are in! I had sever issues with pain when I as 20 weeks pregnant. I was screaming in pain, flushed, vomitting and a very sore side/tummy. I called an ambulance, got sent to maternity then sent home without even being examined. It happened again and again even after Isabella was born. It turned out to be gallstones being stuck in my bile duct and I ended up really poorly. I had to go to my GP 3/4 times a week and annoy the hell out of them before they did anything. I would just keep going back or go to the ER time and time again. You shouldn't have to suffer, esp when you are pregnant. I really hope you get this sorted xxx

@Teri In 07 I had the worst pains ever- kept going to my doctor for over a year- He would never run test just kept giving me different antacids.. I finally end up in the ER in 2008 cause the pain was just so bad and in one test they could tell it was my gallbladder! Said it was so badly infected by this point it needed to come out and if I had only caught it sooner it could have been treated!! I was so pissed- i was going to my doctor for a year about it!!
Im not even sure where to start to find a new doctor- none want to take medicaid or so far i have been told I am too far along for them to take me now.
Im thinking after next month when i get the sugar test I might just stop going to the doctors.. im going to write a letter to someplace when I figure out where to complain. but I'll be damned if Im going to let them keep treating me like shit-
The high risk hospital said my 20 week scan needed to be re done and my doctor treated me like i was lying to get another scan- Fuck that! then he closed the report so i couldnt even see what it said!!

My head is gonna pop!
btw Teri, My husband is from Aberdeen Scotland. He moved over here after we got married- One day I hope to go ever there and see where he is from and meet more family

@junebaby- Im in Melbourne fl. I've tried two different ER's . One doesn't have maternity. The other is hit and miss depending who is on. Even when I was bleeding in my first tri and went in they treated me horrid- basically told me if i was losing the baby there was nothing that could be done and I could do that at home! a few weeks later I got a doc to test my progesterone ( been asking since I found out at 9 dpo for it to be tested) and it was so low- that was the problem ! and the doc tells me I don't know if it was caught in time- dont go home or make any stops- go right to a pharmacy and get this script for progesterone filled..
so far I have been right about everything with my health (the progesterone the blood clots to name a few) and they still treat me like Im a liar- druggie (even though I refuse any drugs) and a hypochondriac..
I did let them give me something for pain when I was passing an 8 mm kidney stone though! That size is not suppose to be able to pass on it's own but they couldn't do anything cause I was pregnant. And the ER made me feel like a bad mother for taking the meds- I have had a baby before and I have passed many stones- passing stones is a million times worse the child birth- I pass medium stones weekly- painful but I can deal- but trust me, if you get a big stone- there is nothing int he world like the pain and it can go on non stop for weeks- I wanted to kill myself- I truly did and when I made a complaint to the ER about how they treated me ( sent me home bleeding, vomiting and dehydrated) the guy taking the report said they should have baker acted (sp?) me - freaking jerk- all I wanted was to be kept on fluids ( the pain meds dont help at all) but you need fluids to pass the stone- I didnt even have any fluids in my bladder after a whole bag of IV fluids cause I was that dehydrated.

I got into a rant there- sorry lol Just so fed up with everything- Doctors get paid an obscene amount of money and they dont really earn it! It's not right.

Could it be your gallbladder issues all over again? Even after your gallbladder is removed you can still have problems. Stones can be made in the liver then get stuck as before causing ridiculous pain. I literally live on chicken and turkey that is poached, plain fish, potatoes, dry rice and pasta. I cannot eat anything with butter, oil, high fat content, anything rich like cheese gravy or tomatoe sauces, chocolate or anything like that. If i do I am in unbearable pain. I was admitted twice after my surgery becaus of it. Can you travel any distance to change doctors or go to another hospital, even miles away so you can be seen. The stress isn't good for you or baby.

I love Aberdeen! Have lots of family there and it is a beautiful place. Just not easy to understand the locals lol

I always wondered if the pain still had to do with gallbladder issues- I dont know if they ever checked- they treat me like Im nuts- I dont show the pain I am in very well- I either keep still and quite and stone faced- or flip out and have a panic attack where i lose sight and hearing- The ladder hardly happens - I have lived with chronic pain for so long- the biggest sign of the pain I am in is not typical- It's fatigue. Constant pain is exhausting! mentally and physically.

For years I have spent 90% of my time in bed- had to stop working in 2012- I was so bad i couldnt even dress myself- I was trying to fix myself since doctors were not doing a damn thing- I was working on my pcos and thyroid and something I was doing was working cause I got pregnant after 20 years of being infertile !
I have to figure out what else I can do cause there's going to be a baby soon and I can't be in so much pain all the time!

My husband has such a light accent- I ask him to beef it up sometimes lol- but when he is around his family it gets much stronger- I can't understand anything any of them say lol -

I'm not surprised, it can be really strong!

It does sound as if it may be the gallbladder again. My liver function results were 10 times higher than they should be even after it was out. I had severe upper back pain, shoulder pain, pain in my ribs and breast bone. Nothing apart from lots of pain killers and tonnes of water helped. I lost 3 stone from only managing a 600 calorie a day diet - which is not great when you have just had a baby! I was the same, and like I said, was admitted twice after the surgery with the same "attacks" as I call them.

Even now I still have mini attacks but I can control them with drinking about a litre of water and I don't dare eat anything fatty spicy or rich ever.

When I was having the attacks I did the same. It tuned me in to a raging bull, bouncing about the house trying to deal with it. It got so bad that once I called an ambulance I snapped at them for taking almost 20 minutes to turn up. The guy laughed (I had worked with him when doing my nursing training) and he said "oh I didn't rush cos I knew it was just a panic attack" - he then refused to take me to hospital. Feeling like an idiot I stayed at home screaming. Two weeks later the same happened so I just got a taxi to a+e myself. I didn't miss him when I seen him in the department that time. What sort of diet are you having just now? Xxx
