Nah you don’t get it. What i feel is nothing alike ordinary pain, is like constant pressure from the middle or something towards front that comes a pain out of this world, i can’t take it anymore, no matter which position i am, standing, sit, on sides puts pressure even more and somehow there is an enourmous amount of gas that makes pain even more painful. I’ve done some many tests and MRIs and nothing that can explain that.
Even last night, i couldn’t sleep at all and at 6am i had to prepare for work and i am at work right now i can’t resist, i just can’t…almost started to cry last night, this issue has gone so bad past couple of days that i dont know what to do anymore, im trying to explain to others yet no one can understand what is like and telling me to relax and stuff like that feels like me wanting to punch them in the face because they cant fucking understand and its so easy man, so easy to tell others to hold on or calm down when they are just fine.
I feel like wanting to throw a knife right into my left abdomen and be done of it, i can’t hold on much longer, this is not life, i should give up already…
Actually, I do get it. I understand and feel for you. No one who hasn’t had that sort of pain can truly understand.
It’s the sort of pain that makes “ending it all” an attractive thought. Pain so bad, you lose the ability to talk or even think and you feel like you just can’t go on. I found that pacing (just walking around the house for a few hours or all night) helped me, when no position is comfortable. Distraction, like video games helps. If marijuana is legal there, give it a try, it could help.
I’ve been there. Luckily, I’m in a much better situation now.
I urge you to see another doctor, cut all common allergens from your diet: dairy, wheat, alcohol, greasy foods, etc. for a week. I hope you feel better soon.
Can’t even walk without feeling like organs are going out off the body. No matter if i eat or not there is always GAS, out of nothing, been to many doctors, they are all USELESS and dont give a crap on your health. I cant play games either because of pain, i cant stay still, i cant concentrate and im a god damn programmer and i need my mind but … man…im trying so hard… I took so many meds and diet and shit and its literally 0, nothing has effect…
That truly sucks. Have you seen a nutritionist? I assume you’ve tried GasX or a similar med. It sounds like you may have intestinal flora issues. There are treatments for that, including fecal implant (which sounds really nasty, but could genuinely help).
Since you are having so much gas, try a clear liquid diet for a few days: Water, tea or black coffee, chicken broth, jello, that sort of thing, just so your system can settle down.
Why do you even go to work? It looks like you almost falling down. I don’t know in what country you live, but it sounds like emergency. Can someone drive you to a hospital? Why was your gal even removed?
That just sucks. Apparently, IBS can include bacteria “overgrowth” in the small intestine and antibiotics can help with that. It sounds like you haven’t found the right doctor. I urge you to try again, before you feel compelled to do anything drastic.
Because of the money in order to go to the doctors? And i live in Romania and yes there has been an emergency for years, i had my gall removed 2years ago, first week after gall surgery i felt wonderful, like i could actually live the life, but than old sympthoms with gas appeared and worst this time, pain, pressure and kept going for years, no doctor actually cared, done so many tests and none was of any help. I really am stuck here and feels like suicide myself every god damn day.
I have on 19th this month a schedule for a MRI for the small intestine, ive done MRI over the abdomen before but i dont think they actually saw the small intestine.
I wish I could be of more help. Hang in there, as long as you can and don’t give up hope. I have to go, but I do understand and hope you can find some relief.
Hmm, i need to point out that food can take up to 72 hours to pass through the system. So even if you dont eat for literally a day there is still plenty of material in your system that is being digested / can produce gas, which means the results of any dietary restriction of elimination of certain foods could take many many days to appear. I know my saying this is frustrating, as is a topic of people offering things you probably have tried to one degree or another , because all it is saying to you is people don’t get it. They don’t get the pain, they don’t get that you tried x and y etc. And i encourage you to ignore literally everything here EXCEPT, getting a second opinion from a different doctor. If you live in a country with a proper social safety net, next time you have agonising pain, present to accident and emergency at local hospital, or switch your gp and present there.
What you are describing here, is long term pain that is radically reducing your quality of life to the point that it is inducing depression and suicidal ideation. And if you relay the fullness of that particularly the latter, and a doctor turns you away with ‘its a dicky tummy, suck it up’ then that’s fucking malpractice.
If you are really on the brink of even contemplating some drastic measures, you need to step up to the hospital. Let your parents bring you and dont go away for no reason. From what I heard about Romania, is that doctors want extra money before they start treating you. But if you don’t have any, you are doomed. This is your life we are talking about. Instead of keeping it your problem, make it theirs. You are in pain and you need help. Just go now and stay at the hospital. We only can type words, but cannot help in real life. That is what you should do for yourself, or with help from others in your vicinity.
I’m no specialist here but I’ve always been told that CT scans can offer much more detail than MRI scans. Downside is that it’s pretty unhealthy due to the heavy radiation but in cases like yours, wouldn’t this be the best way to go?
I’m not sure about healthcare providers in Romania, are you getting the best help available? Or is this not possible due to it being too expensive?
