Update: mri done on stomach tests normal. Going to try to get a brain mri done now . Pain is the same, actually increased. Reduced cymbalta -she was getting very dark and depressive. Doctors still have no answers. I know someone had brought up gyn issues. Gyn will not due exam due to her age?! So she continues to struggle everyday missing out on a normal teenager daily life . Any ideas?

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I still think she can have endometriosis bc it does not show on a test. The only way they would know is through a Laporoscopy. Does she have painful periods? If she does then I would think maybe endo. Check out the site of EndometriosisTeam & read the stories from young girls with this problem & maybe you will find some answers. I wish you & your daughter the best.

Any female who is old enough to have her periods is old enough to need an ob/gyn. The ob/gyn who won't see her due to her age should not be considered as a doctor for her. Drop him! He doesn't want to help.
When I was having problems with what turned out to be endometriosis, medical doctors couldn't seem to find anything wrong, but my primary care, who is an osteopath (medical dr and dr. that uses natural treatments) was the one who found it. She also was the one who discovered the breakthrough last year. I've learned that taking pain meds before the pain hits worked better than trying to fight it until its too late (I'm a fighter). I used OTC pain meds though.
Also have read that prescription pain meds. stop working after awhile, because the body is determined to send the pain signal through, so it makes it stronger so that it overrides the medicine. That means more pain meds. are needed until eventually the pain meds. stop working completely.

She does not have painful periods. The pain is 24/7.the more research I do it seems that it could be Acnes? Or something with the nerves in her abdominal wall? Feedback??
