I am going to type out my history to give a better understanding of my situation.
In Feb 09 I started to have pain under my right ribs, hida scan showed low % fuctioning rate, so they removed it. (MAY) 1 week after surgery I awoken with screaming pain. Lasted for 6 hours then went to ER.
They told me it was inflammation from the surgery and sent me home. The pain has not went away since!!!
Went to a Gastro dr, in which he sent me for many tests: Colon, EGD, MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, blood, the whole works.
According to him, he said I had some swelling in the stomach, and acid reflex, small ulcer, and some how, he mentioned GERD
So I was taking Nexium. Pain never went away. So I went back to him a few times after surgery.
Last month, he literrally said "I dont know!!" so he sent me to a pain management center.
They put me on Etodolac for arthritis inflammation, and the Fentanyl patch.
The next month I am STILL in pain, so I decided to see another Gastro Dr. He says he needs to study all my previous test results and go from there. He also put my on Hyosyamine for antispasmatics.
To this date, I have dealt with this pain. Some days are better than others but I still walk around like a zombie feeling and looking sick all the time.
The pain is from the center towards the left under my rib cage. Hurts to be touched. I really cannot describe the pain but just as it hurts
Please let me know if you have been through this.....Researching on the internet I mostly found my symptoms to match up with: Crohns, Gastritis, Pancreatis, or Fibromyalgia
Please help me, I miss my active lifestyle with my kids, and they miss me. All I want to do is lay around and baby this pain!
