Re: Is there a Doctor in the house?

I have been having a rough year. New Years鈥?Day I went to the ER and was told I had an acute appendicitis and needed surgery. I had a reaction to the succincholine and spent 12hrs. on a respirator in ICU. I was told I could not metabolize it and it had to wear off. After all the meds wear off I was still hurting, but with a dull pain in my URQ. After months of pain and it getting worse by the week, I had a MRI, blood work, an ultrasound an endoscopy, the nuclear test, and a colonoscopy all came back normal. The surgeon who done my appendectomy said that with my symptoms it sounded like my gallbladder even though all test showed normal. The surgeon and I decided on surgery in May. That surgery went well every thing was okay (gallbladder had scar tissue all over it from my kids using it as a football when I was preg.) and no more pain except the pain on my ULQ which only comes when it is time for my period (did not have until after Jan.). Also after Jan. my period went from messed up (I am anemic and have high blood pressure) to a major mess. I started having it four 14 days with palm size clots. Being anemic (iron anemia) I know about being tired, but I have been very tired to the point were I can get wore out talking, get hoarse, have trouble breathing, and heart palpitations; they go away with rest. To help with my period my Doc. put me on birth control pills for three months in June which helped part of it. I do not have the heart palpitations as much as before but I still get fatigued easy, my period last for 6 to 11 days, I can not exercise because I get cramps all over and stay fatigued for a couple of days afterward. And 3 weeks after I was put on birth control my ribcage on my right side started sticking out. When I lay down I can put my left hand on my left side and go across and touch the bottom part of my ribs on the right side. I also have pain and pressure under my ribs. I have been given 2 blood work ups and a CT scan all normal. I have been treated for acid reflux and muscle inflammation with no results. Last yr. I could do 400 crunches, 60 mens pu's, curl 25 pounds 80 times, swim a 1/2 mi. and out walk a teen with ADHD who did not take his meds for over a week. I am on a low fat and low sodium (I do not like salt) diet, also I do not eat a lot of sugar. Any ideas.

This is something I have never heard of before but you can go the mayo clinic online and take their symptoms checker to see what it comes up with. Also, the best advise, get a second opinion on what is going on. They have to be missing something.

Hope you feel better soon!

what the hell is your doctor doing to help. that son of a *****. I'd report him/her and get myself another Doctor.

the pain in your upper left quadrant could simply be ur diaphragm. im pregnant and i get pain in my ulq all the time...sometimes if i sit alot or rest alot i get this sharp radiating pain across from the ulq to the urq...its wierd but it may just be sore muscles...im no doctor but i have similar pains around the same spot...check with another doctor...if all ur tests have come out negative, you should be ok and shouldnt worry too much about it...i understand the pain could be uncomfortable but apply some warm comfort pads/soft pressure around the sight..it may help...
