Let's see...I had my small bowel follow through and upper GI series on Wednesday. You can see what happened here http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=8315
Anyways, my stomach and bowels started hurting and I just brushed it off. The diarrhea stopped which was good, so I went to lunch with my Mom. After lunch the pain started getting worse. It was more predominant on my lower right side. By the time I got home it was unbearable. I couldn't stand up straight without horrible pain and it was just constant. After a few hours of being in lots of pain I decided I should go to the ER. By the time I got to the ER the pain on my right side was so intense I couldn't walk. I couldn't even move my right leg. Long story short, they ended up admitting me. Unfortunately I was stuck in the ER for 16 hours until I got a room. I didn't really care because I was on morphine. The morphine unfortunately didn't help the pain, it just made me not care.
They wanted to do a CT scan but since I just had the SMFT they couldn't because the barium would interfere. They did an xray and they saw some dialation but I have no idea what that means. They also did an ultrasound which was normal. The GI doc that saw me in the hospital seemed pretty awesome but got called to the ER while we were talking.
So after getting on some hardcore painkillers while in my room it was just the same stuff...they all wanted information from my GI doc. It just takes them so freaking long to do anything!!! So after dinner time they said if I wanted to go home I could. I said I want to go home because there is no use laying around for nothing to be done.
They told me to take painkillers and that's it. So once again, I am failed by the healthcare system. They can't tell me what's wrong, they couldn't do any tests, and I feel like I am at a dead end.
I hurt like fucking hell and I just don't have the energy to drive myself over to the stupid pharmacy to get these stupid painkillers. My insides hurt so bad and I just want it to stop. I want to know whats wrong and I want it fixed.
I don't even want to call my GI to tell him what happened. I just feel like no one can find out what's wrong and fix me. I don't know why, but I feel like a loser. I absolutely hate this.
