For more then a year my wife has suffered from chronic undiagnosed sacral pain.
She has had two MRI's, two sets of x-rays, two bone scans, a lapporocipy
, a sicmoidoscipy, and a sympethetic nerve block. In addition to western medicne
she has seen numerous chripractors, accupunturists, and had rolfing done.
Currently she is working with a local pain specialists that is running out
of ideas. To deal with the pain she requires a substantial amount of daily
pain medication. My concern is two fold. I would welcome any insight on potential
causes of this problem, or possible procedures, specialists, or treatment.
My other concern is what the pain medication will do to her liver over a
long period of time. Any insight would be greatly appricated.
Thank You
I am afraid it woukld be very difficult to come up with a possible cause
for this pain without a great deal more information, im particular things
like the precise distribution, character, intensity, radiation,
precipitating and relieving factors etc.
Also if a diagnosis has not been possible when physicians have seen her
in person this forum is somewhat limited in its contribution.
You sould consider other possible organ-systems as a possible source of the
problem, for instance a visit to an OB-GYN might be a good idea.
In order to tell you about side effects of pain medications on the liver
i would need to know the names of the medications concerned, since some
medications do effect the liver and some do not.
