My husband has been quite sick since February. He had a burst appendix for twelve day before he was in the hospital but we were lucky enough it the poison localized in one area pretty much. Now about 6 weeks ago he finally had the appendix taken out it was rock hard an directly stuck on the bowel the surgeon said it was like using a jack hammer to get it off. Now 3 weeks ago the pain got more severe again and it has continued to get worse he can't do much more then lie on the couch. If he takes pain meds he can do a bit more but lying down helps the most. The doctors have done x-rays, blood work and a CT scan of the lower abdominal area but they can't find anything, now they want to send him to a GI specialist. They say maybe it it IBS. I don't buy it. He is in constant severe pain, his bowel movements are more or less fine, he says it hurts more in the upper abdominal area after he goes to the bathroom, but he still has normal stools. He gets the sweats also, he can't sleep, he is pretty much confined to the couch. My husband also has type 1 diabetes,wondering if could it be the pancreas. I don't know what to do please do you have any suggestions on what this might be.
