Constant Pain

For the past week I’ve had constant pain the moment I get out of bed to the time I go to bed at night. When I eat anything or drink anything it causes pain. I have another dilation and a biopsy this Wednesday. Not sure what he is going to biopsy though. My GI doctor seems as if I’m bothering him about my issues. I asked him to prescribe me pain meds or something to ease the pain until the procedure and he said he can’t because my surgery was in April so I’d have to go to my PCP. Which now I have to schedule an appointment to be seen. This whole ordeal has been horrible. I feel like after my surgery I’ve been tossed to the wind by the doctors. Everything I’ve done has been as a result of researching the internet for what to eat and what to expect. I found another GI doctor but they he can’t see me until December. By that time I’ll be a damn skeleton because it hurts to eat and drink. Any ideas or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi sorry to hear you are in pain. Phone your drs and say it is urgent you need pain meds. Hopefully the dilation will help you.

Best Wishes

I am 7 yrs post op, I used to get dreadful pain when I are, still do sometimes, but my team put me on Creon, they said it was the food passing through to quickly, the Creon helps absorb the food and slow it down, might be worth asking about it,
