Had to go to the ER tonight because the pain meds I got from the doctor yesterday for cramping and pain wasn't putting a dent in my pain today. Yesterday doc said I had scar tissue stretching, but ER did much more thorough ultrasounds to check everything, and the pain is right at an orange sized fibroid which is probably degenerating. FTM so never been in labor but I have broken my elbow and leg, this is the worst pain I've ever been in. ER gave me stronger norco, so it works for about an hour and I can sleep for that hour...but have to wait 4 hours between doses. Warm compresses were recommended and it does help me get a little more comfortable. So off work and drugged up, neither of which I'm happy about indefinitely until pain ends. Anyone else dealt/dealing with this? Any advice?

@HollyGolightly09 ER doctor last night was not very inspiring, he said I'd be in pain until I wasn't. My OB, who sent me to ER last night and wanted follow up indicated that the pain should be transient and prescribed an additional med (nsaid that is safe for 5 days until week 32) that I'll start tonight after it's picked up. If pain gets worse or I get other symptoms in that timeframe back to ER. If I don't have relief in a week I'll see a MFM specialist.
Thanks again all for the support, feeling better emotionally after hearing from my doctor today. Ready for hubby to get home from stepson's baseball practice so I can get that bath!
Thanks for the kindness and support!
