Finally have some answers

This has been ongoing since pretty much a month post op the pain went away for a couple months after I had an adhesion removal and all was good till the end of December when I ended up in the hospital again for the same pain

This morning I had a colonoscopy and they found small ulcers all over in my small and large intestine the doctor took lots of biopsies and I go back to see him in six to eight weeks

Now to go back to my nurse practitioner and the doctor she works under and have them apologize to me for calling me a junkie and saying the pain was all in my head since nothing was showing up on any of the imaging

I have had 5 ct scans an MRI countless ultrasounds and nothing showed up even had two upper scopes before the one toay

Wow, glad they finally found something. I can't even imagine what you have been going through on top of caring for your new-born. I really hope that this is the turning point for you.

I'm glad they found the problem and you have answers. I certainly would be setting things straight with the NP and doc.

Glad they found the problem. Hopefully they can now give you help with the pain

Proud of you for sticking with it and searching for answers and not taking "no" or "its al in your head" as answers.

Hope it turns out to be nothing serious and they can help with the pain.

All the best,

Leslie

Good luck, heres hoping you are on the road to recovery!

Good that you have a cause now and can treat it accordingly.  It was the same when I had gallbladder stones/disease - they sent me to half a dozen specialists and tests, drugs, when the whole time it was my gallbladder.  This went on for years and for the last year I was vomiting nearly every single day.  In the end they told me it was stress and I just needed to relax.  Ya right!!  Only reason I was finally diagnosed was because I had a severe gallbladder attack and ended up in hospital for emergency treatment as my gallbladder almost burst.  Still I had to wait 5 months for surgery - 5 months!  In the meantime I had 3 more attacks and passed a huge stone, in the hospital every single time.  After surgery I felt instantly fine eating normal food, it was fantastic!  I hope your issue is dealt with quickly now that they know what is wrong. And you should let them know it wasn't in your head!

I am so sorry to hear that you have had to endure a doctor that kept dismissing all your pain. Finally you have some answers and hopefully now you can get some sort of relief from your pain. Did they say what might be causing these ulcers or could it be a result of the wls?

I'm so glad to hear your finally getting some answers! It will be interesting to find out what the cause of these ulcers is from and how they plan to treat it. I hope they gave you something for pain.  

Keep us posted, and I wish you all the best!

I've been on long acting and quick acting morphine since the begining of September and it is helping
