Long story, will give brief background. I am 46 years old. I had 2 laminectomies L4/5 in '94 & '98. Rear-end car crash in August '02 resulting in a Annular Tear to nerve sheath surrounding nerves and Spinal Cord, Diagnosis 'spinal stenosis' due to the crash. I was slim, fit and healthy Driving 40ton Artic trucks until car crash. My GP prescribed:~ OXYCODONE 60mg x 2 per day, CYCLIZINE 100mg x 2 per day. Due to decreased mobility I rapidly gained weight. After about a year I started suffering from Acid Reflux which was diagnosed at an outpatient clinic. No tests were performed to confirm this as they wanted to wait until any back treatment was done. 18mths later still no investigations for the reflux because I am now deemed Obese but I now take:~ Domperidone 10mg x 3 per day 15mins before meals, ESOMEPRAZOLE 40mg x 1 per day. I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes in Oct '05, I am diet only. I now also take PERINDOPRIL 8mg x 1 for raised B/P and because of almost constant Oral/Groin Candida 50mg FLUCONAZOLE x 1 for 28 days currently on day 16. Xmas '05 evening approx 3/4 hrs after eating heavy rich Xmas dinner I started to suffer from pain around my Tummy-button which came in waves, approx 2/3 mins between pains and lasting 12/15 secs, I was extremely nauseas. I was admitted to Hospital in the early hrs of Boxing Day morning. Blood and Urine Tests showed Blood & protein in my Urine and raised white blood cell count with a few others raised but not sure which. An Ultrasound of my abdomen showed nothing abnormal so treated for Kidney infection. I was given an antibiotic. 7th Feb 06 I had the same pain start with Nausea, I was violently Sick after about 1 hour. Was again admitted to hospital after violent vomiting in the ER. Blood and protein again showed up in my urine and 4 raised levels in my blood including white bloodcell count. I was again diagnosed with Kidney infection even though I didn't have any symptoms, I had a kidney infection many years ago and remember what that pain felt like and it was nothing like the pain I was experiencing. Another Ultra sound of my abdomen, Urinary system and pelvic organs again showed nothing abnormal. I was started on CIPROFLAXACIN IV for three days then sent home with 500mg of the same drug to take for 7 days, now on day 7. Yesterday 14/2/06 I ate some fatty crisps, after 15mins I started to feel extreme nausea and vomited 10 mins later. After about 20 mins I felt OK again. I am now keeping a Food Diary to see if or what makes me sick or indeed causes another episode of extreme abdo pain as described above.
The pain when I get it is very bad and as I described above in kind of comes like contractions around and under my Tummy Button, at its peak I can feel it almost to my spine.
I have been searching the 'Web' for anything to help me. I am hoping that someone might be able to help me. I sometimes feel because I am Obese due to being Disabled they are reluctant to investigate further. Please Help Me!!
