Hello, I am praying that anyone can help. My adult daughter had her gallbladder removed at age 17, she is now 29 years old. She had post cholecystectomy syndrome immediately after her surgery and since then has suffered chronic pain in her belly that is severe enough to cause vomiting. She's been scanned and scoped from here to next century and they can never find a cause for her pain. She has been to UF Shands so many times it's ridiculous. The pain has led to a decline in her mental health. She was hospitalized recently because of the pain and concurrent elevated WBC count and elevated LFTs. Her bile duct was irregular and open at the time so they admitted her and put her on meds for a few days. They finally discharged her and sent her to a GI doctor who gave her trigger point injections in her abdomen. I have asserted for a long time that this is some kind of adhesion or trapped nerve. The pain is right on top of one of her port scars, and upon insertion of the needle, the doctor could FEEL resistance and remarked about it. The issue is, the shots wear off after about 2 weeks, and appointments with this guy are harder to get than hen's teeth, and he's out of the country. My daughter absolutely and categorically is not on narcotic pain meds, nor is she wanting narcotic pain meds. She wants a solution to this pain, so she can get on with her life. Is there anything else anyone can recommend? They're not calling it nerve pain, they're calling it a muscle spasm. I understand spasming muscles can contract around nerves. She's been on muscle relaxers for ages to no effect. The ONLY thing that has even CLOSE to getting her pain down to almost undetectable has been this trigger point injection, of which she has had 2. Is there someone out there that can help? Thank you.
