My family doctor hads been phoning in everyday but she still has been unable to get the results, I don't get how it can take this long to get the results back from my surgery its not like they had to send the samples out to some lab far away the lab is in the hospital. And how can they keep telling me each time I phone that I will have the results in a couple of days and that they will be sent to the hospital first, of course they will be sent to the hospital, the tests are being done in the hospital.

I have been writing everything down and I bring it with me when I go and see a different doctor. There was one point when I was in the hospital (it was my 3rd time being there in 3 months) that the doctor looked at me as if it was all in my head and he blew off my symptoms as being nothing and sent me home with some antibiotics for a possible bladder infection that I didn't even have, I don't even think he completely read through my chart. Not all of the doctors I have seen have been bad though there was one doctor at the hospital (my 2nd visit) who reviewed my chart to see what test had been run and then ran his own test and after he couldn't find anything he did admit that he had no idea of what could be causing my pain and said sorry for not being able to help me.

Once I get my results back from the surgery and if they show nothing I am going to ask my doctor to run a vitamin D test, there is no harm in running it even if it does come back normal.

Unbelievable is the word that kept rolling through my head while I read your story. I know you have been diligent about trying to get the results I just wish you could make more noise(so to speak). I think that you regular Dr. should be completely irate and be demanding the results. Todays technology is faster than that. I also feel the lack of treatment you are getting is horrible. I feel like they are blowing you off. I hope you have been documenting EVERYTHING. So at least you have some legal recourse if needed. You are the one that knows you best. Don't stop. Bug them everyday twice a day if you have to. Get a lawyer if you have to. I speak from experience. I hope that you get the relief you deserve soon and the answers as well. Best of luck.

Honey, did you ever get your doctor to run a vit D test? If you are deficient, your body simply doesn't have what it needs to function properly. I know it sounds like this just can't possibly be causing your problems, but listen to this: the wife of one of my pain clinic colleagues who I mentioned before didn't believe it, either. She has been suffering since she was a teenager. I don't know her exact age, but she's either in her late 30's or early 40's. Three years ago when she was first told that she was vitamin D deficient, she disregarded the advice to get treated for it.  It just seemed too simple.  She ended up with two surgeries, one botched endometriosis surgery, and another to fix it, and then she comes to find out that it has been the vit D deficiency all along, probably even back to her teenage years. You are still so young, and you really need to take this seriously as it could save you years of pain and suffering. Don't do what my colleague's wife did. If you would like, I can try to get her to sign up on this website and talk to you directly. Let me know if you would like this. Please, ask your dr. for vit D [called 25(OH)D], PTH, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous blood tests. I'm assuming she's already run all the other standard tests like glucose, blood tests for kidney function, etc. Please do this, and tell me what your levels are so you can benefit from what I learned from the errors made my medical care for my own vitamin D deficiency so your doctor can treat your vit D deficiency quickly and effectively, if indeed you have a deficiency.
