CB doctors, I could use your thoughts for my daughter. She is in the ER right now, but they're sending her home

Not yet.

That’s what I’d do. He’s going to be more inclined to see a former patient.

If she is an adult, maybe gallbladder? Guess it could happen in kids as well

Ovarian Cist? My wife had this once and put her in a ton of pain for a while. They though it was appendix for a while

2nd this. My wife had PCOS. Sounds very similar. Just a thought, not a Dr.

After my 3rd gallbladder attack, all with excruciating pain, I had it removed.

Could be a volvulous/ twisted intestine

Are they 100% certain it isn't an appendicitis? Once it ruptures, things get really bad, really fast.

That should be seen easily on CT

My wife's ruptured appendix did not show up on CT or ultrasound.

That's what my wife is wondering too, I don't know.

They are keeping her there for now. They got an OBGYN consult, and are working on a surgeon consult.

Not a doctor. Maybe ovarian cyst or endometriosis? Said a little morning

Gerald-DeGroot

1/20/21 7:14am

There's a good possibility it's ovarian cysts--again. That's part of what her previous surgery was.

jdub

Emotional trauma? It’s a thing and more common than we like to believe.

An update for those following: she came home late last night, but nothing is figured out yet.

Any new update? Thx.

Update?

Cougstreak

1/20/21 8:31pm

Still trying to figure out what's wrong. Pain is being managed, but just barely. Strong possibility of endometriosis.

jdub

Copy. Keep us updated and very cool of FO. CB is special sometimes.

Gerald-DeGroot

Praying for your family. All of my sisters have had that. It was painful but

TailgateU

Thanks man. This one thing wouldn't be so bad, even as painful as it is, but for this daughter there has been a lot

That's what we're here for. Well, that and arguing about stuff we can't control.

yeah, I might have noticed that too.

Did she get a pelvic ultrasound in the emergency department?

Littlerich

Maybe ovarian cyst rupture?

bigbluecougar

1/21/21 11:32am

This is the other thing I was thinking. Diverticulitis? Endometriosis?

Ned Schneebly

1/21/21 11:52am

Forgive me if I have this wrong, is it your daughter that is T1D?

Ned Schneebly

1/21/21 11:28am

Yes, same daughter, but not diabetic related--at least that's the theory now. Endometriosis is the guess now.

jdub

1/21/21 12:08pm

Endo totally blows, but is manageable. My wife suffered with it for years.
