Having Serious Abdominal Pain And Pain Is Worse. Have Nausea And Depression. Suggest The Treatment To Get Relief From Pain?
Question: I have been having serious abdominal pain for over almost 4 years ... My pain has been getting worse as time progresses. In 2009 I developed toxic mega colon from C diff infection within hours of a endoscopy. From 2009 to 2012 I had re-concurrent c difficile at least once every month with Vancomyacin. Pain persisted even when cdiff not present.last infection was after several months without antibiotics ( 11 ) and was 3 weeks ago , treatment with vanco cleared it. I have had 2 negative tests since then.
Pain starts in low abdomen behind the navel then radiates out to lower left and right abdomen and into lower groin behind the sacrum. If I push on the perineum it hurts more and worsens in the abdominal area. It also aggravates the sciatic nerve ...
Pain is sharp at the spot in the abdomen. It feels like its just in front of the sacrum and deep behind the Navel . its deep and pulsates ,the area surrounding it pulsates with a burn and throbbing sensation. This pain generally never stops and is constant. The severity of pain changes but never seems to go lower than a 4 of 10 . I have had several ct scans with no unusual results, An Endoscopy in 2009 with 2 biopsy's that were clean. Urinalysis clean blood-work and vitals are all text book normal. Eating aggravates it and elimination is normal when c diff is gone. Pain is constant and doesn't leave after deification. It hurts more when defecating. No Crones disease has been found, everything comes back normal. The frequency of these attacks and emergency visits have increased as has the pain severity and duration. Pain seems to move around the abdomen now after the initial stabbing in the area mentioned above. I already minor IBS and this isnt related that pain is entirely a different sensation and goes away with diarrhea after elimination. My Ibs flares are rare ( 2 in the last 4 years) but they aggravate this condition. These pain attacks can last days and or weeks and the throbbing is there even with 62 micro patch time release fentanyl and 20 mg morphine oral. Tonight its sharpest in the area above the perenium and behind and just below my navel and it feels like a jab that shoots into the rectum and the base of the penis ... its also radiating from there into both hips. The hips are sore and worsen with weight or walking. I almost collapse when getting out of a car.
I live in Calgary AB Canada and the theory is there is invisable damage to the colon / visceral nerve system that is causing this pain and each time the c diff gets in there it makes it worse ... I have profuse sweats that seem random in nature , and when I exercise I sweat unbvelivably compared to everyone else in my yoga class ... Hot yoga is worse... Light Jogging for 2-5 mins makes me sweat like I ran a mile.
I have bouts of neasea from pain and I take Ondanstran for it , I have Depression so bad that I am monitored by a psychologist and a psychiatrist and am on several anti depressants to both alieveiate pain and the suicidal tendancies ... Living like this isnt living its just surviving and I hate it. I was an active healthy person before this all began.
I don't know what to do or where to go ... The Gastro specialists here are not good ones and have 5 times now give a diagnosis of IBS, When I got a second opinion from Emerge and testing it turned out to be Reccurent C Diff again. Now the Cdiff is gone and I am in unbearable pain . THe Gastro here are also notorious for sayingeverything is IBS and there are literaly hundreds of people going to BC XXXXXXX Washington and Edmonton for tratment because they have such a terrible reputation.
I am at my wits end , I finally have a useful good GP but we don't know what to do next ... Plkease help .

Brief Answer:
Hello XXXX, Thank you for the query.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. DJ(James) Rouse,
Thank you for posting your query through Healthcare magic.
You have given a very elaborate description about your disease. This is not usually given by patients and I appreciate you for that.
But in Homoeopathic case taking what is more required is to get the details about the patient. Here in your case, you have given very little information about YOU. That means you have to get back to me again with the maximum possible information about YOU, your life situations, your reactions to them, your past history including your childhood and family history, past diseases, their treatments etc.
I can assist you to prepare your case by sending a case taking format, attached herewith, in which you can enter your case in detail. You can expand it to any extent and forward it back to me at the earliest. Your purpose has to be to make me know fully about your constitution and genetically inherited tendencies in the physical and mental plains.
After studying YOU I will suggest the right Homoeopathic treatment for you.
In the mean time please try to avoid all the chemical drugs and wait for the right curative Homoeopathic remedy.
You have to pay special attention to the life situation before the onset of all these problems and to what particular psychological conflict converted you to the present state. There must have had an unexpected or shocking incident or situation in your life to produce the present state.
There is no need to get depressed, because Homoeopathy can cure YOU first and then all your physical and mental complaints will be relieved. You are very young and the beautiful life is ahead. Homoeopathy will offer healthful days in future.
With Best wishes,
Dr. C. J. Varghese,
Homoeopath,

Dr XXXXXXX I am not sure how this health Magic has made this mistake but I asked them for a gastro Enterologist . I have already been to a Homeopath here in calgary and had unfortunate consequences that made me sicker such as reactions to richi mushroom and other remedies.
I can purchase most remedies available in the us here as there are health food and other stores (Chinese Medecine) that are available in Calgary ( 1.4 million people here ) or in my other city Vancouver 4 million there ... So usually I have no issue buying I have tried loads of Homeopathic remedies all were VERY expensive and really didnt work but I will try anything now
