So... If I could sum up my frustration now.... I go in to get xrays and blood work. They tell me to go home and they will call me with results that night.... never did. The next morning still no call so I call them, no answer. An hour or so later my GI triage nurse calls and tells me my small bowel is perforated it's a huge emergency I need to get to the ER ASAP my surgeon calls me and tells me the same thing and that I will be needing surgery. I get to the ER which is full although at this point I'm in so much pain, wait a while finally get taken back. Get pain meds and such then wait 4 hours and none of my GI's or Surgeons had come to talk to me yet. Finally on of the resident doctors comes in and says "oh, your xrays look totally fine there's nothing wrong you can go home. I was in shock like I didn't understand what was happening seeing as everyone was telling me that it was a perforation and awful and such. But the pain was and is still awful so I told them I would prefer to stay here at least overnight. Had a CT scan done which also showed almost nothing, yet I still have a lot of pain. I still can't pass gas, I still haven't been able to poop. And I when I tried eating solid food I could feel it passing through all of my intestines and when it got to the area that was bothering me it hurt. I have no idea what is going on. It is just pretty ridiculous to call me and tell me my bowel is perforated and then say nothing is wrong. I am so aggravated, and on top of it all I still feel just awful. I have had flares before, but never anything like this. I never have had black diarrhea, followed by constipation, tons of mucus, and pain that seems to pulsate. Something just doesn't seem right.
