Hello everyone, I have recently read several of your documents and was
hoping that you could help me find out what is causing me so much pain.
I have visited gastrologists;several hospitals for cat scans, my
intestines, and will soon be getting an MRI. All of these doctors have
given me several different cases, but are unsure. My symptoms started
three years ago, every three months, but now reoccurs daily. I have
lower abdominal and back pain, leg,feet, and side pain. These pains are
also traveling down to my private areas. I am a forty-two year old male
who has been a dialysis patient for 10 years and I can no longer take
the pain. It hurts when I digest or even eat food. This pains are far
worse than cramps, I can't even find a comfortable position to lie in.
Nothing eases the pain, not even pain pills. This has been a daily
ongoing pain for almost a year now. If I'm talking to the wrong people,
is there any one out there that you could refer me to. Please help me.
