Severe abdominal pain pain for 8 years after gallbladder removal
I have been in excruciating burning abdominal pain wrapping around my right side to my back. And through my shoulder blades, headaches, Dizziness, disoriented, muscle aches and weakness, numbness, tingling in arms,chills followed by flushing heat and sweating on abdomen, bouts of low grade fever, adrenaline rushes at night waking me up. And at times lasted through the day, for 8 years now after having my gallbladder removed. I have had imagine, blood test, stool test. No answers. Endoscopy showed inflammation of my stomach lining peptic and doudeum ulcers. I have been prescribed several different acid reducers. And taken them off and on for 8 years which cause side effects and don't really help. I have to force myself to function everyday. When I have a bad flare I loss weight rapidly getting down to 90 pounds. Despite eating every 2 hours. I have to pressure cook my food to make it soft so I can digest it. I only eat whole organic fruits and vegetables. Organic chicken and baked salmon. I can not leave my house before noon because I can't get away from the bathroom. This effects my job and has caused financial issues. That pain is so at times my brain tells me the only way out is death. But that is not an option for. I am a single mother and my youngest daughter has multiple sclerosis and needs me. But I feel like this is slowly killing me. And can not get the help that I need from the medical community where I live.

I am having very similar problems but I had my gallbladder removed 16 years ago. I’ve always had digestive sensitivity, and food intolerance since then but only just started having the unending stomach pains. Dr wants to do an Endoscopy, colonoscopy came back clear. I hate how non aggressive physicians can be, they are so casual and cautious in ruling things out. Meanwhile I can’t eat, loosing weight and practically bed ridden during “episodes”. It’s debilitating, I can’t do normal day to day activities or care for my kids like I should be.
