I am a 28 yr. old female. Last year I went to a gyne for ongoing problems with my menses and daily abdominal pain. I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and my gyne sent me to an endocrinologist who confirmed the PCOS but said I shouldnot be having daily severe abdominal pain and told me to go back to my gyne. The gyne did an ultrasound which came back normal. The gyne told me she "suspected" that I had endomitriosis and started me on depo-lupron injections. I had 3 injections over a 3 month period. My pain became worse to the point of incapacitating, the gyne told me she did not know what was wrong with me and wanted me to have a 2nd opinion with one of her peers. I went to a gyne at a different hospital for my 2nd opinion, the gyne told me that I did not have endo, if i did the pain would have been gone after 3 injections. The 2nd gyne told me that I had severe damage to the pelvic cavity and pelvic muscles, the abdominal pain was so severe that he agreed that I was temporarliy disabled, the gyne told me I would need to go to physical therapy. The PT diagnosed me with chronic pelvic pain and nerve damage. It has been over 4 mos since my last depo-lupron injection and I have been back on birth control to regulate menses for over 4 mos. Even with PT my pelvic pain is getting worse. The biggest problem is that I am unable to become sexually aroused at all, unable to feel any sensations of arousal in the vaginal area. So not only did the 1st gyne treat me with injections for something she wasn't positive I had or do the tests for endomitriosis (laproscopy or mri), my pain is getting worse and I am unable to become aroused at all. I went to my new gyne today and told him about this, even though he is not the doctor who gave me the injections, he would not go near the depo-lupron subject. The gyne told me it was because of stress and pain that I could not become aroused. I argued and told him that I had done research and found that depo-lupron was hurting women and that I was unable to get any sensations at all in the vaginal area. The gyne told me to seek counseling for stress and arousal would eventually come back. I know my body and believe that the depo-lupron has caused these problems. Would I have a case against the 1st gyne for treating me for something she didn't do tests for to make sure I had but now my pelvic pain keeps getting worse and all arousal senses are gone after being off the shot for 4 mos and back on birth control receiving estrogen.
