HELP!

I've had lower right abdominal pain for two weeks and a bit of middle left quadrant pain with no fever or nausea, or vomiting, there's a constant ache and I've went to the ER three times, they did three ct scans three blood analysis and three urine analysis and all came back "normal" but I feel like they missed something... I just took three hemoccult tests and they're all positive... It flares up at night, and I have a very long line of colon cancer in my family... Not really "worried" because I know it takes 7 Yates for polyp to become cancerous and they keep diagnosing me with "anxiety" but I'm not stressed or anything. .. They said it could be a uti infection but all of these assumptions have been before the hemoccult... However I did eat half of a 9 oz fully cooked steak last night as well as took ibuprofen the night before and I know all of these could sway the tests... But it's ruining my appetite, making me constipated at times, two nights ago it kept me awake all night wrenching my stomach in pain, I'm 22 years old, 5'7 144 lbs and I've also lost about 16 lbs in the last month so I felt I needed a second opinion because the last doctor I seen said "make good friends with your passion medication we have done all we can do" yet never did hemoccult never did stool sample, never did a referral to a specialist or anything, he basically said I was crazy and that I should just stay doped up on 30mg of codeine abs ambien all the time... mind you I never took either, and almost took his head off when he said that and had to restrain myself... If any of you could please enlighten me on what could be happening please help! !

I'd like to also add that when I was clenching my Stomach in agonizing pain he was laughing at me in the ER room saying I could make it go away, it was all in my head... Not only that... But he said if I didn't stop "putting on" he was going to leave and discharge me before they did anything to test or treat me and refuse me service.... When I tell you I almost jerked his head off his shoulders I mean I was so mad I couldn't think of any other logical thing to do... smh, he shouldn't even have hos medical license

No I've just now gotten a referral to be honest... Very annoying getting told from an ER doctor to "become friends with your pain medication"... especially after they intentionally gave me ct contrast when I'm VERY allergic... I had very bad confusion, dizziness, slowed breathing, itching, etc... After I told them numerous times im allergic... To be honest, I hope GI finds something because they diagnosed me with sleep problems, a UTI, and abdominal wall strain on the occasions... All three of these were a false diagnosis... is there something I can do legally? They're charging me 12000 dollars for 3 visits and misdiagnosed me all three times with NO RESULT! I REFUSE TO PAY THEM!
