SOD over the counter remedies/homeopathy remedies for lack of ins.

Hello, I'm in alot of pain for quite a while now and need help.
I had my gallbladder removed years ago because I was having attacks severely.  Now for the past two months I've been having attack symptoms and pain 24/7.  The Doctor thinks I have SOD or Sphincter of Oddi Disorder.  He says I need a bunch of scans and ERCP, and need to first go to a gastroenterologist,  I have no insurance and can't afford it.  I was looking for possibly herbal remedies/oils/homeopathy solutions or over the counter medication.  Please help.  At this point I'm only doing pain treatment so I can work.  Any information will help.

Look into teaching schools in your state and get proper medical care. Because they are teaching schools and the care is free, including scans, ercps, etc. It could be something more serious and should be looked into. I know I was very sick with no insurance but went to Baylor in Dallas and received free health care. I have had 8 ERCP's since then and they found problems with my pancreas ( pancreas divism) in which i just went through a whipple surgery for in Nov. 2010.

You can buy Buscopan for spasms due to SOD take a maximum of 6 per day.  I find keeping the medication in my system helps to reduce the amount of spasms I have.  Take 1 every 4 hrs just to keep them in your system. Hope this helps take care.
