Q: I need a knowledgeable surgeon,rheumatologist,DR who can work out this medical mystery Pls help!

Ive been bleeding for months dark brown lightly only once saw red on top of the brown.Painful sex and abdominal swelling-between urologist and gyn neither could acct from where the blood was coming from.I had a hysterectomy as a result of adhesions yrs ago. adhesions are suspected in my casehowever i cant find a dr to do the surgery for risk of nicking a bowel or bladder.also have bowel and bladder problems always nauseated and during a bowel mvt when passing over bladder area excruciating pain! I was treated w/antibiotics b4 and had some relief but now its back.I'm in need of an expert and am afraid if something isnt done soon my bladder or bowel may be claimed by these adhesions or whatever it is! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis for 10 yrs now am close to 40 but feel like 80!It seems as soon as something is fixed another organ system breaks-lately a pulmonary nodule was found and I just had an acdf of my neck which was unexpected and became urgent over a weeks time. This bleeding isnt normal and I was in the medical field b4 I became unable to go to work. I want my life back.Most Dr.s seem to chalk it all up to immune prob associated w/RA but this bleeding is prominent at this time-I asked my former Dr if this would kill me and his response was well something else will prob get you 1st! Good luck driving home! Please advise I am willing to travel.Also all tests have been done ultrasounds, Ct's labs, scar tissue adhesions do not show up on these from what Im told so it seems to be the right direction Ive been to ER so many times w/unexplained abdominal pain!

Hi.

 

I suggest that you, or your primary doctor, set you up for an examination at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
