What Could Be The Cause For Severe Abdominal Pain That Tests Couldn T Indicate?

I have had continual lower left abdominal pain for 3 years. I had rectal bleeding during periods and gynecoligist suspected endimetriosis. I had complete abdominal hysterectomy last February which was opened on my old c section incision from 1987 and 1989.I no longer have the bleeding. No endimetriosis was found. My pain has become unbearable now. Physical activity and movement make the pain worse. The pain does not allow me to sleep, I can not lay on my left side without experiencing extreme pain. I have developed constipation that is small round balls. I have had 3 colonoscopys, ct scan, exrays and ultrasounds. Doctors can find no cause of my pain. I was put on irritable bowel medication and had no relief. That medication has been discontinued. I feel that something is wrong. This pain is affecting my life in all aspects; exercise, sleep, sex, social activites etc… The pain is constant with bursts of strong, gripping, cramping pains that make my body feel numb and I have waves of nausea. I am exhausted from constant pain. I do have some joint pain that I dont know if it is related to my ab pain.

Hi. Thanks for an elucidate history.
As all your tests , post-surgery status , consultations with multiple Doctors gave you negative results, I would suggest you to go for the following:::
MRI of the whole spine - occasional patients have neurological causes that cause the pains. Consult a Neurologist who would examine you in detail clinically.
Another possibility is to have a consultation with a Psychiatrist - sometimes helps a lot.
Thirdly:: Change the situations , place, work place, the irritating factors of your life and go to a long-away place for a vacation without mobiles. Please let me know the results ..
Joint pains may be related to your panicky situations
