Open Question: What can I do for my pain?
I have a pain in the right side of my upper flank, just under the ribs.
I think that it’s my liver, but my doctors won’t tell me. It’s a very long story. Here’s just a short version…
When I was 13, I started my period, and I started to hemorrhage severely.
I bled for 3 weeks, and was very sick. My parents finally figured something was very wrong with me. ( I never told my parents, but they figured it out anyway) They rushed me to the E.R. and they admitted me for a week there. After, I was fine. Until a year later…
I was at my grandma’s house, and when we were shopping I started to get short of breath. At first, I ignored it, until it got very painful.
after about 45 minutes, it was hurting so bad I couldn’t take a deep breath. My grandma took me back to her house, and I laid down for a while. My grandma kept asking me if she should call an ambulance, but I told her no, so I suffered it out from 1:45 pm to 3:00am.
After that time, I finally told her I couldn’t take it anymore, so we went to the E.R. At the E.R. they did a whole bunch of tests, and said I had a lymph node infection; to go home, I’ll be fine.
Ok. Here’ s the good stuff….
Ok, about 6 months later I had a similar pain, but this time it moved from my chest to my right upper abdomen.
I went to the E.R. again, and there they told me I had a gallbladder attack, I needed surgery if I wanted the pain to leave.
So I went and had the damn surgery done, and blop!
I was fine. or so I thought.
Again…
After 6 months the pain was back, but even worse than before.
At 6:00 am on a friday morning, I woke up and I couldn’t breath, so my dad called an ambulance. This was not just comfortable, it was extreme pain!
Anyways, the EMS personnel told me my heart was skipping beats, so they took me to the local E.R. On the way there, they gave me 3 nitro’s, which didn’t even fade this pain.
This pain was just not I couldn’t breath, it was a very sharp stabbing pain in my middle upper abdomen.
(like the “lymph node infection” pain, but much worse)
Anyways, when I got to the E.R. the doctor there told me I was just having a panic attack, to go home, I’d be fine.
So i left, and went to another E.R. ( because I know this pain is not normal)
And the doctor there told me the same thing.
I went home and tried to ignore the pain, but i couldn’t.
So, at 6:30 am on saturday morning i went to yet another E.R.
And the doctor there asked me a couple questions, and then admitted me on the spot.
It turns out I had abnormal liver function tests, and really highly elevated bilirubin levels.
They kept me for 2 weeks, and then sent me home.
they never told me what was wrong, just that I had abnormal liver function tests, and high bilirubin levels.
Anyways, I had a follow up with my doctor, and she gave me neurontin to try to see if it would help me or not.
( the reason is that I’ve tried everything that’s legal to dull this pain.
I’ve tried morphine, I’ve tried lortabs, percocets, ETC. )
So I tried it and it works better than everything else I’ve tried.
I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out what this pain is. My doctor mentioned Hepatitis, but she’s never tested me. I’ve had multiple blood transfusions when I was 13. Could this make me get Hepatitis? I was also diagnosed with Von Willebrands Disease at 13, so when I go to the dentist, or anything that could make me bleed, even a little bit, I have to have factor. So I’ve been exposed to A LOT of blood and blood products. And I have a quiet heart murmur.
I don’t have any other health problems but this.
I just can’t figure out why Neurontin helps me, when nothing else does.
I have no problem in taking Neurontin for a long time, I just want to know what is causing the pain.
I’m taking Neurontin 300 mg once daily.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!
