last of this medical problem, I hope!
Just a quick update...I had an ultrasound last week and met with a new gyn this evening...and I finally feel like I met THE DOCTOR. He believes I have an infection of the urethra, brought on by Dr. ***** pushing bacteria into me as she tried to force me open! He could tell this by the point of the pain as he examined me and I identified it, by a swelling on the urethra, and by the symptoms I described and what had been ruled out. He really seemed to know what he was talking about and had a great way about him - his whole office did, in fact. Even made me laugh.
He couldn't seem to get his head around why the other gyn did an endometrial biospy to begin with, nor why she wanted to do a d&c. The ultrasound looked good - uterus is healthy, etc. He explained things well and answered my questions and I'm feeling more peace of mind than I have in weeks!
He gave me an antibiotic that he said should target only that infection and some more pain meds to help till I feel better. If I'm not feeling significantly better by Thursday, I am to call him to schedule an MRI...but he thinks this is it and I'll be feeling better soon
Thanks again for the support!

Lisa,
I can't tell you how happy I am that you finally found " the doctor". He sounds like he know's his stuff. And when you're comfortable w/ a Dr. Is means so much.
As far as the other Dr. Doing a biopsy and wanting to do a d&c? Can you say dollar signs? So many drs. Are so into making a lot of money really fast then sitting back and watch it grow. Take it from me, I work w/ them every day and I'm always amazed at the unneccesary tests they orders for some of the pts. Blows the mind.
Hope the antibiotic and pain meds help.
Donna, sfy
