I believe Endo doesn't show up on labs or in scans, it's just found through laparoscopic procedure but once found can be treated through medication afterwards. My wife had endo and this was what the doc shared with us.

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

What was the abdominal surgery for?

Not a doctor. But have you tried reaching the doctor who did the surgery?

Not yet.

jdub

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.

Smack'sWife

1/19/21 8:45pm

That should be seen easily on CT

Agnostic-alumni

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.

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.

Any new update? Thx.

Update?

Cougstreak

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

Did she get a pelvic ultrasound in the emergency department?

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

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.
