Please help

[Emma]

Please help me, I have no-one else to ask.
I'm in so much pain, I don't know what to do anymore.
My stomach has been killing me for the past year, no-one can find anything wrong with me, I've had every test known to man and still nothing has shown up, I've been told today that it's not cancer or some horrible disease and that I'm not going to die, which is a relief, but I'm still in alot of pain.
My Mum wants me to just ignore it and stop carrying on, but I can't it hurts to much.
Just because I have social problems doesn't mean I'm faking this.
I just want it to end, it's making me so depressed, I don't know how long I can just pretend that it doesn't hurt that much anymore, I'm sick of pretending it's OK

Could it be hurting because you're worrying?

 

[Emma]

I know it's not hurting because I'm worrying, I already tried to ignore it, it's not like a sick feeling that I would get when I'm worrying, it's like I'm being stabbed over and over again and I can barely move, I have to stay still until it's over and even then it's unbearable, I can hardly stop myself from screaming. I just want it to end, I can't go on like this

I have a friend whose father had the same thing; it began after he got an infection in a laceration on his stomach, then didn't stop hurting even after all traces of infection and injury were gone. It eventually went away, however, so I think yours will do the same, given time.

Are you on any medication in particular. I used to be on beta blockers and the side effect for me was a lot of gas in my stomach. When the gas accumulated after a while it would casue extreme pain in my abdomen. I would hardly be able to stand. If you are on any medication it could be a side effect

Hi Emma, I'm going to state the obvious but have you spoken to professional doctor about these pains? If not I recommend it, obviously we can't diagnose online accurately and a doc will provide you with help - maybe you could get someone you know to arrange an appointment and go with you instead (if you're nt upto it) ?

Let me know.

Hi Emma,
I totally agree with Black_Mamba. You can't let other people like your mom tell you that your pain is nothing to worry about. You have to listen to your body and make descisions for yourself. You should see a doctor, and if they can't find anything wrong go to another doctor and get a second opinion. You have to stand up for yourself.

Good luck

Yes, I have spoken to a doctor, he said he doesn't know, I've seen a surgeon and he doesn't know either, they said all I can do is take medication and try to manage it as best I can, some people just have pain for no reason 8O

Hi Emma

Perhaps you could try other doctors. Ones that might be really thorough and check out every possible reason for your pain before concluding that there is nothing wrong with you.

Some doctors aren't very understanding and tend to just brush you off as though you are making it up or exaggerating. Be persistent and perhaps ask them to really look at different causes for your pain.

I hope you get it sorted out.
