For two years now I have been experiencing pain first on my right side, which they diagnosed as diverticulitis with possible perforated bowel, which they wanted to hospitalize me for observation. No insurance so I went home on strong antibiotic s, bed rest and no food for several days. Resolved it self. ( I bleed for approximately 30 days prior to that, figured it was a very long period.) Don t said I could be starting menopause. Then I started having pain on both right and left sides and doctor put me on a regiment of antibiotic s to get the jump on any possible infections early and cut back to clear liquids until the problem passes. ( my suggestion) cause I still do not have insurance. I get extremely bloated during these times. I have noticed in the last six months that I get the same pain on the lower left side each month around the same time. (pain on the right is gone). I asked for an pelvic ultrasound to see if my ovaries are the problem. Came back Right Ovary measures 1.7x1.46x2.11 cm w/a volume of 2.74cc. The left ovary measures 2.46x1.93x2.37 cm w/a volume of 5.88cc. Please note that I had just starting taking antibiotics two days prior to this test being done due to left pain starting again. The pain last for about 3-4 days while on antibiotics and then goes away. Is it because I am taking antibiotics or because that is my normal cycle each month but I no longer have periods, haven t for about a year now. I am afraid to not take the antibiotics when I get the pain because if it is my bowels again and I do not want to put myself in the same situation I had 2 years ago. I also have trouble having bowl movements when I am having the pain as well. I have altered my diet (more fiber)...I now take a bowel medication daily to help keep my bowels normal. and about 1 week a month I feel good. The rest of the month I am bloated, cramping, and struggle to have regular bowel movements. I take blood pressure medication linsinopril (low dose) ,and a Prilosec pill daily ( which I had chronic heart burn for 2 years before I finally gave in to Prilosec verses tums. I have also had a bowel test for cancer...came back normal. Had a colonoscopy, came back diverticula present nothing alarming...some inflammation. I had just finished taking a 20 day regiment of antibiotics when I had the colonoscopy done, so I was feeling good. Should I have a C125 test done or a trans vaginal ultrasound? I really think there is something going on with my left ovary. Also my last pap showed a cyst on my uterian wall... tested no problem. My pelvis has tipped. Sex is painful. Please help where do I turn. I am tired of the routine I have been doing and I do not like the constant antibiotics every month.
