Hi there, driving myself mad again!! When will it stop? Can anyone help please?
Had some pelvic pain a few weeks ago so Doc suggested a pelvic scan "just to put it to bed" (was panicking about ovarian cancer). Two days later came down with cystitis so rushed to get antibiotics. The scan was all fine and she checked my kidneys too as she knew I had had cystitis, said that there was no evidence of trans - something? whatever that meant (possibly to do with infection going up to the kidneys.) She could see scarring on the kidneys (which I know all about -that's another story). However, I have had a pain in upper left abdomen under rib for a last few weeks and am panicking that this might be a kidney stone. Doc said "no as it would have showed up on the scan and they did a good job and checked everything", urine test is also clear so no infection either. I am an ibs sufferer and wonder if it could be that although I normally get the pain in upper right and have had for years - undergone every test for that too, all fine. Doc thinks I am mad I am sure - I just go from one thing to the next, I only thought - ooo er kidney stone and it sticks in the brain. Surely it would have been spotted on the ultrasound?? Viscious cycle of thoughts - I can create any symptom just by thinking about it.
Sorry for the long post.
