I have unrelenting abdominal pain after gallbladder surgery. Flare ups with burning URQ pain, acid reflux, can barely eat and lose weight quickly. Eating equals pain. Get on PPI and last flare I got control of in 3 months and off omeprazole. Recent flare no relief, pain is daily and I’m barely functioning, Drs have tried so many meds and sent to several specialists. Mixed opinions on going to a pain clinic from Drs. One says go one don’t. I am in counseling trying to learn techniques to cope, I agree about meds adding fuel to the fire but how does one function with constant pain? How do you get relief? This recent flare seems to have no end. Tests don’t reveal answers, but do have hyperparathyroidism as well and because of past same surgeries can’t locate so in limbo. Also multinodular thyroid they are watching because of Braf gene mutation abnormal but not cancer. Sorry to sound so rambling but what do you do for pain when you need help? Surrender to the opioids and Valium offered? Any helpful insight? Thank you
