As my title states, I am 10+ years diagnosed, small bowel resection, ostomy due to recto/vaginal fistula, Humira stopped working, now on Remicade, Methotrexate, and Amitryptilie. As well as prilosec. Recently had MRI and colonoscopy, which both showed the disease is managed.
Here is my dilemma, I still have frequent, almost constant lower right abdomen pain, front and back. At times it's debilitating. I am out on short term disability, and a couple of days away from losing my job, due to STD not extending far enough, due to no "medical" reason I should be in pain.
Trying to find a pain clinic, and all the ones close to me only treat orthopedics. How is that even possible, there are more types of chronic pain than orthopedics. Anyone else have anything close to this happen? I am at a loss.
Thank you for reading!
