Premenopausal Health

Since last Friday, I've been experiencing moderate pressure,
discomfort and sometimes pain in my entire pelvic area.
I ran the check list - bladder infection?  No.  Yeast
infection?  Maybe, but this is not normal.  I wonder if
my uterus has finally decided to "flip out" on me?!
Sure enough.  I made an appointment with my ever faithful and
well-beloved Nurse Practitioner, for yesterday at 2:00.
She did a urine culture - no infection.  I was right.
She did an exam...
Maria, your cervix appears to be tilted and it also appears
from my examination that your uterus has flopped on its side
and is lying on top of your bladder.
I had wondered if that was indeed the kind of thing that was
happening.
After the exam, I was in more pain that ever - so I took some
Ibuprofen. I think we made things "angry" in there with the
exam.  My NP will be making an appointment for me at St.
Mary's North to have an ultrasound of the area to confirm what
she thinks is happening.  She has already made an appointment
for me with Dr. M.  The only problem is that the earliest they
could get me in is March 17th.  My first thoughts were -
you're telling me that I will feel this way for the next two
months?!  Lord, I need to get this stuff taken care of sooner,
please!  My NP offered me muscle relaxers - I don't know why
she offers, because she knows me well and even guesses at what
my response will be - "no thank you".
She said she knows there is a surgery where they can create a
sling to hold up the bladder, but she doesn't know if there is
such a thing for the uterus.  She said the only solution she
knows of is a hysterectomy.  I asked her if that
meant I could keep my ovaries and not go on hormones
(she knows how I feel about that too!).  She said that's
exactly what it means.  I expressed to her how nice it would be
to go ahead and end this pre-menopausal stuff if that was the
solution that looked best.
So Jamie, Angel, Mom, Ann - forgive me for not remembering
everyone - I may join you in the "missing parts" department soon.
My plan is to wait to see what appointment they get for me at
St. Mary's, then I'll be calling Dr. M and asking them to put
me on a cancellation list.
Please pray we can take care of this sooner.
If the pressure, discomfort, pain wasn't constant - I mean to
the point of keeping me awake at night - I'd wait.  I can't
imagine waiting 2 months...
