Severe abdominal pain with persistent vomitting. . .

Note: this pain is completely different to my endo pain, although it feels a lot worse.

Hi all. Not long been discharged from the hospital after spending 3 hours in A&E to be told that I am suffering from a 'possible stomach bug'.

I have been vomiting almost everything up for the past week, which 3 days ago got alot worse; to the point where I can't keep anything down including fluids and painkillers. I have also been constipated for about two weeks, and the pain in my stomach is just agonising. 

Visited A&E two days ago, was given an enema and an anti-sickness injection. Neither had helped. Last night, the abdominal pain became a lot worse. From a strong dull ache to very sharp stabbing pain. An ambulance was rang for me and I was taken to hospital.

I was given anti-sickness and painkillers via IV and a litre bag of fluid which I was grateful for, but I still vomited after it and the pain was not controlled. 

Left for another hour, the doctor came back and said that I need not to worry about the constipation, the vomiting and pain will 'eventually stop' and that he is happy for me to go home. 

I tried to explain that nothing was helping and I am scared to go home as I can' just about walk. He basically ignored me, told me to get some buscopan from the shop and 'come back if anything gets worse'. I only came back because it got worse!

So I'm curled up in bed, sobbing. Waiting for a telephone appointment with my GP. I have no idea what is going to happen but I need help!

Anyone had a similar experience? Any advice is also very appreciated. Thank you all and God bless xoxo

Sounds similar pain to when I had my kidney infection, my endo wasn't diagnosed at the time, so I put it down to that but I knew it was different, and I vomited with it, did they do a urine test on you? X

Oh my god, sorry that this is happening to you. I too was turned away twice by hospital, but I emailed my consultants secretary and refused to see anyone else till I was given tests and a ct scan. That was Sunday morning and I'm still here! On ward now and had my op. Be as forceful as you can, I know how hard that can be when you feel so awful. Good luck and don't let them fob you off that it's just a bug or just your endo pain. My consultant was so lovely and a bit angry no one had contacted him, so if you are under a consultant, try and get in touch. It may be a cyst that's ruptured and you may get the tests you need to help you. X X
