She has complained of belly pain since she
was 5. She has a history of high
pancreatic enzymes that Dr. Has never
been able to explain.
A week ago today she started complaining
of sharp pains around her belly button and
on the left side, which is sometimes
accompanied by nausea. She has also ran a
low grade fever ranging from 99.0 to 100.5
the entire week.
I took her to er when it started and they
did blood work and said the white count
was slightly elevated 2500 more than
normal. Put her on motrin. (this was on
sat. Night.)
monday, our m.D. Checked her out and
scheduled an ultrasound on g.B., appendix,
ovaries, ect.
We can't get the results for a week and
are spending most nights sitting up
waiting for 4 hours to pass to give her
the next dose of motrin. Tonight she
started complaining of the pain being in
the center of her lower chest.
Anybody have any ideas what this could be
or what I could do to ease the pain for
her? Please help.

Hey sassyd, how is your daughter. Sorry
to hear all she's been through. I'm
really sorry I don't have advice but I
remember when I was a kid like 8 or so I
would get crippling stomach pains and they
would last hours and then i'd feel fine.
Do painkiller help at all? Ask the dr,
again and get a second opinion if you need
to. Maybe you could look it up on www.Webmd.Com. It
could help.
Take care and please keep me posted on how
your daughter is doing...
I'm thinking of her...
My daughter was finally diagnosed at an er
in a bigger town than the one I live in as
having an infection of the lymph nodes
called mesenteric lymphadenitis. They did
a ct scan with contrast and barium and had
her diagnosed in less than a couple of
hours when the local doc had been fooling
around for almost two weeks. Anyway, she
spent 2 1/2 days in the hospital on zosyn
antibiotics and is good as new now.
They say that the infection can come from
adenosis, strep, staph, e coli and
contaminated water or milk. My daughter's
case was viral.
I am just happy to have her well again.
Thanks so much for your concern and good
wishes.
