Question: I have right side pain since the beginning of march 2012. It started with severe pain for about 2 wks, I've had a CT scan, abdominal u/s and and IVP which the doctor says is all normal. However the pain has never completly gone away. I did feel some releif for a short time, instead of severe pain it went to a discomfort such as it felt like my side was bruised like I had been hit in the side or something. Now the severe pain has been back for a week now and it really hurts when I'm sitting. My husband and I couldn't even sit through a movie this weekend without me wanting to cry and being soooooo uncomfortable, sometimes it hurts so bad when sitting that I find myself grunting when breathing. I went again last week to the doctor and I just wanted to leave crying of frustration and pain, and again was told "the scans didn't find anything maybe it's just muscularskeletal, we can give you pain pills". Oh, they also told me maybe I just need to do stretching exercises before I get out of bed everyday for the rest of my life. I understand I am 38yrs old now, but really. I don't want pain pills and the pain feels like it's coming from inside, not from a muscle. I want someone to figure it out, not offer me pain pills, and not make me feel like I'm losing my mind. Since they have told me they can't find what's causing it since the scans came up normal I've been trying to ignore the pain and it's just getting worse. I'm frustrated and ready to give up. I have had surgeries and been in pain before and I can normally handle it, I don't like taking pain pills. Please help, I need ideas of what I need to do or where I need to go.
I don't know how much longer I can handle this pain.
