Abdominal pain.

[Grover2]

I’ve been a weekend binge drinker most of my life, I haven’t had an alcohol since 2019 but three weeks ago I had a seizure and was taken to hospital. I had an abdominal CT scan last year which I was told was ok apart from cysts on liver and kidneys, I also had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy last year which found no problems. My problem is I haven’t actually been able to see anybody face to face, all my GP’s surgery do is read back letters from the gastroenterologist over the phone. I am still waiting for a 6 month follow up to actually see a gastroenterologist (which is overdue). I am in constant abdominal pain which radiates to my right shoulder, I even told them this at a & e three weeks ago but was not listened to and sent away because my bloods were fine. I’m stuck not knowing what to do next.
