OK, so I've been to the surgeon and back to another specialist (hematologist) and now the diagnosis is unclear, but both the surgeon and hematologist said they could help me. Back to square one, and to top everything off, about a week and a half ago, my right side starting hurting really bad (felt to me like a kidney stone), but we haven't found the cause (although there are multiple tests that have indicated problems).
Never a dull moment trying to find out what exactly is happening to me, but eventually I'll get there. Eventually.
So in summary, no surgery, no firm diagnosis, more pain. Awesome.
