Thought I'd better do an update here. I did not get better when I came home from the hospital. I was on a lot of pain meds and anti-anxiety meds when they released me, so I felt O.K. until they wore off. The pills they gave me turned out to really make everything worse (were laxatives and too harsh).
Nothing calmed down in 2 days, and I called my doc this a.m. He says this is not right, and will consult with the stomach specialist tomorrow and call me. Meantime, I am back big time on pain med, but left it off for now untiil 10:00, if I can stand this! Am very nauseous, also. No appetite. Cannot understand why this CT scan is not showing anything wrong. This cannot be right.
Will update if I am able to do so. I go online, but cannot stay very long, because I get too nauseous and have to run tothe B.R
Love,

UPdate: I'm feeling a little better. It is 2 a.m. or almost. Took me about 3 hours to slowly eat some chicken soup and applesauce, but I believe it has helped. Still planning to check it out at another hospital. REfusing to take pain meds at all! They just make things worse, and I and my body want to know! Not spending so much time in theh BR! _________________

|
|
Update on intestine/colon/internal organ pain:
I saw a surgeon at a differnet hospital--the one where my back docs are. It is a big teaching hospital with a good rep. THe surgeon says my pain could be 1 of 3 things: it can be from the hernia, or from the herniated disks, which can affect bowels--I never knew this--or it could be internal organ problem such as intestine/colon or kidney or gynocological, which has not shown on the CT scans yet. He scheduled surgery for May 2 for the hernia. He advised not to see my back surgeon until after the hernia surgery, in case this fixes it. (Because if this is caused my by pinched nerves from the herniated disks, it would mean back surgery for sure this time! ) He also referred me to a different gastroenterological doctor whom I see on April 18th. Until these times, I guess I just do the best Ican with pain. I figure if it gets too bad, I will call up the docs at this new hospital--they are nice--and just say I can stand it no longer--and go to their ER. The problem with ER's is that I cannot control that Anxiety and Panic and am liable to leave anyway in panic before anyone can do anything!
Well, here's mud in your eye, as they say, and we wait and see! _________________
