Here Are 29 Stories From Women Whose Doctors Did Not Take Their Pain Seriously

I had chronic stomach pain growing up and the pain was so severe that I was often curled up reeling in pain. There was no relief whatsoever. It randomly came every month or so and lasted about a week. I went to the doctor multiple times. The doctors always passed it off as overeating or gas pains. Last year I finally went to the ER because the pain was so bad I couldn’t breathe. Turns out I’ve had Crohn’s the entire time.

The doctors at the hospital were a completely different story. They kept asking me if I had hurt it somehow/strained it by carrying something heavy/other mildly insulting explanation. I told them I wouldn’t be there if I knew the reason why it hurt. They took a blood test and it came back negative for any sign of blood clots. That just made them more sure it wasn’t anything serious. But I kept insisting I KNEW there was something wrong.

I have a bladder condition called interstitial cystitis, which means that the lining of my bladder doesn’t form properly, and my bladder and the surrounding muscles often spasm, causing pain and preventing me from urinating properly. When I was 23, I went to a urologist, after the third negative UTI test in a month, for further diagnosis.

During the cystoscopy, they filled my bladder with water to expand it, my heart rate went up , and they found tiny ulcers on the lining of my bladder. The doctor sheepishly told my mother what they had found and gave me the name of a urogynecologist who specialized in my condition. —During the end of my pregnancy I started having severe pain in my lower back and right hip that radiated down my leg into a couple toes. After my daughter was born, the pain did not improve.

I decided to take a more natural approach because I could not put myself through that again and went to see a chiropractor. He took X-rays. He immediately showed me what was causing the severe pain. He sent me to an orthopedic surgeon. Unfortunately this doctor was in the same network as the original PCP and saw the notes from my two previous visits. He took new X-rays but had me lyying down for them all. He said they looked fine and once again accused me of lying to get narcotics.
