I am 36 year old female and have been in
great pain for over 3 weeks on my left
side, the pain starts on the upper left
side under my left ribcage in goes around
to my lower bottom left side, sometimes it
radiates to my rectum? The doctor has
done a couple of test, all but 1 has come
back but the other 2 were negative. The
lypase has not come back yet, that will
measure my pancrease fluids. I aslo had a
couple of xrays and ct scan, came back
negative also. The doctor treated me for
kidney infection b/c that is what she
thought it was, but it's been over a week
since those meds have been completed, I
must say that the pain has gone from a 10
to about a 6 but i'm still in pain, so i
don't know if i could have also had a
kidney infection, but i still think
something else is going on. I do have
another appointment next week, if I can
make it until then, hopfully they can find
out what the problem is, I also have many
bottles of pain meds that at one point
nothing worked for the pain, the only
thing that caused the pain to lighten up
is when I had to go to the ER and they
gave me Demarol there and at least I got
a chance to sleep for the few hours I was
there? I'm stumped???
