i have trapped gas under my left breast.it never goes away. i barely
pass gas rectally and i get gas stuck in my esophogus when i try to
burp. i have had a million ct scans and they can't find an obstruction.
i have had an ng tube in and it took out 2 liters of contents but once
the tube was removed the contents refilled. i have had an enema to
remove the gas but within minutes my whole abdomen bloats up. i live in
chronic pain and fear. i have no appetite but can't get anyone to
listen to me when i try to get help. i keep getting told that i need
mystery diagnosis. i don't want to be a mystery. i am a 34 year old
woman with an amazing spouse, mother, father and two small children. i
am sick of having tubes placed in every orifice in my body as well as
bruied arms from ivs so often. i am on 4 mg of dilaudid and it doesn't
touch the pain. where do i go from here? i have to twist my doctor's
arm and beg her for the dilaudid now. where is there help for me? when
i go to the doctor he says its in my head and now i am labeled at the
hospital. believe me i have better things to do with my time than make
up illnesses. i feel like i am going to die if i don't get help. is
there anyone who can relate to this.i have never felt so alone.
thanks.
