Well im new at this site!  I just thought that maybe someone here might have the same problems might know what problems im having.  I was having severe right abdominal pains so they took my gall bladder out.  About 3 months later pain came back.  I was in such bad pain that i could move or walk!!  I was sent to my surgeon and she told me that i would be goin into surgery that afternoon to have my appendix out.   About 4 weeks after surgery the same pain came back.  I was told that i had to do a colonoscopy. I had to take the fleet drinks that are supposed to clean you out.....the stuff never affected me after 2 bottles, just worse pain. I went in and they ended up giving me enemas then a manual clean out!!!  no fun!  I was then kinda diagnosed with IBS, but they weren't sure.  I was then referred up to the UW in Madison.  I ended up getting an upper endoscopy which came back normal.  They then found that my vertabrae in my back wasn't fused all the way and the end of my spinal cord was swollen, but not cancerous!!   They do know that i have a constipation problem, but other wise it is like a mystery diagnosis.  I just wish they could find the problem so i can live a normal life!
