Chronic Abdominal Pain

I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 2002 and was very well post op. Since January this year I have suffered pain, mostly severe, round about the site where my gallbladder was. It is now accompanied by nausea and vomiting. This has been investigated as an inpatient by various scans and scopes, but as far as I can see, by the physicians and not from a surgical point of view. When I mentioned the possibility of adhesions to my GP he just dismissed it. I feel like no-one believes me because I’m not rolling around and screaming in pain. I admit that I do have a high pain threshold but even for me it is getting unbearable. I’m taking Amitryptiline, Oramorph and Paracetamol, which do very little regarding pain relief. Could it be adhesions or any suggestions as to what else it could be?

Hello @carolel, welcome to Connect. I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled "Chronic abdominal Pain." I did this because some of the symptoms you explained matched many of the symptoms other members have talked about in this discussion in the digestive health group.

@carolel, You mentioned that you have been dismissed by your GP when you bring up adhesions and that your scans and scopes reveal nothing. Has your provider suggested any other tests?

All bloods have also been clear but awaiting results of stool tests
