I have had severe abdominal pain for 5
years. The pain began shortly after a
surgery, which required an incision
slightly above the navel and travel
straight down. The sharp pain wakes me up
in the middle of the night, and travels
from the navel down. The pain typically
lasts for 3-4 hours and then is followed
by diarrhea. I usually have body aches
for the remainder of the day, and not much
of an appetite. I have had many ultra
sounds, and a colonoscopy. The results of
all tests have been negative. My
appendix was removed 3 years ago but the
pain has not stopped. The doctors do not
know what is causing this pain. Has
anyone had similar symptoms? Does anyone
have any suggestions, or remedies for
treating the persistent problem?
