Thought I would give everyone an update on what's been going on with my health lately. I am so thankful for all the messages, support and prayers from everyone. Since I last wrote about my health I have been feeling a lot better. Not totally better of course, but at least for now Im not in constant pain.
I had an appointment with a general surgeon the day after I got back from BC. She checked me all out, and looked at my medical records, as well as the medical records from when this all started happening. She thinks that I do in fact have a hernia, only its a very rare type of hernia that is hard to find. She said that type of hernia is in the exact spot where I have been having my pain. Usually the only way to find it is by having a cat scan (when I was examined at the hernia hospital, no TESTS were done...just two doctors examining me with their hands to try to find a bulge). She was reluctant to do a cat scan since Im still so young, and didn't want me to be exposed to that amount of radiation already. SO, tomorrow morning we are doing an ultrasound, on the exact spot where Im having pain. We are hoping that the ultrasound will show what is going on, and that I wont need a cat scan after this. She also said that whatever it is will need to wait to be fixed until after we are finished having children.
So thats where we are at as of right now.
In the mean time, Im trying to take it easy and rest since that is the only thing that seems to help with the pain :)
