Like the title states, I have been suffering this for years. This started when I was younger as a dull pain in one spot, a few years ago it turned into an intense pain like being stabbed with a knife and then that knife being twisted. It would come and go, sometimes daily.

Last year after going into the hospital for the fourth time in one night(only because the machine said my pulse was higher then it actually was...i only got looked at cause of an error!)

Anyways, one doctor finally said that there was obviously something wrong(considering I was acting like I was frigging possessed I was in so much pain)Ironically they said they brought up an old X-Ray that was done three years prior and said there was something on that X-Ray(The doctors previous to this one all said there was nothing on the X-Ray!!!).

Anyways, I got pumped full of morphine and went and got another X-Ray/CT scan done and sure enough there was something wrong(After suffering for years and being told there was nothing wrong!). They finally said that I had to go into emergency surgery cause if I wait any longer it could cause further problems.

Well, they did a bowel resection on me cause a piece of my small intestine was bad and enlarged to the size of a grapefruit. The surgeon said it fell apart in his hands! Sick...

Anyways, that surgery was done last august and my pains are returning...daily. I have been to the hospital and many doctors with the same result(Nothing is wrong!)...when there obviously is! I believe the surgery was only to fix the "symptom" and not the cause.

Are there any doctors here with some REAL advice? Cause these canadian doctors around here are pushing their luck with me...If I get told one more time nothing is wrong I will snap and probably be put in jail cause I am TOTALLY fed up! And If I end up there, there is no chance of being taken seriously.

I can answer any questions yall may have.
