I have been having some major pain in my stomach area....My father died from colon cancer and also had chrones disease....I am a 27 year old female and I have been experiencing pain in my stomach and below for almost 3 years now. I don t have a doctor and I am noticing heartburn and swollen stomach, I am weak, I feel as though my stomach is on fire but I think something is wrong in the intestine area due to other issues I have experienced as far as going to the bathroom...I can hear actual weird noises deep inside and I also have been to the emergency room numerous times in the past where I was told swollen intestines....I am also on methadone which I hear constipation a lot but what is strange is when I was in the er I was told I was clear inside. I can barely walk at this point I am in bed as we speak and the pain is bad I made an appointment with a gi specialist I think is what they are called for next Wednesday but I don t know if I should go to the emergency room or not....I do know the pain is becoming unbearable and when people hear I m a methadone patient I am immediately treated differently. Even though I am on 35 mgs and have privileges and I do NOT use at ALL I still am treated so badly....My pain can be dismissed....I hate that so I avoid the emergency room all together anymore....what should I do and does this sound like chrones disease that s wrong with me?
