This wednesday I have a colonoscopy.

Perhaps in colonoscopy the doctors can see finally what is wrong with me because I am desperate with this terrible stomach pain.

But I have terror in the case that they will not find anything. What coul´d I do in this case :(, what could I do if muy stomach pain persist and doctors don´t found nothing. Should I live with this constant pain in my stomach?? :(

Thank you very much.

Hello Seymour!

It would be nice if you posted all of your information on one post. So far all of them seem to be related to the same item, and there is no reason to keep making new post. Simply reply to the same post to keep all the information related to your stomach problem in one place please.

Seymour good luck on your colonoscopy. This test is considered the gold standard for test of the colon. It might not show everything that can be wrong with the colon but it definitely can show allot if not most things! When it comes to detecting colon cancer and structural abnormalities of the colon it is an outstanding tlest. I have to get one done every year I hate the prep but your out for the actual procedure so it isn't bad at all getting it done.

Good luck to you!

IBS can cause pain if it is severe. Out of curiosity have they tested you for an ulcer?

 Seymour five years ago at age 49 I had every procedure and known test run for chest pains, a constant stabbing pain in the side of my stomach, and testical pain, it was the gastro guy that sent me for cat scans of my skeleton and muscles after he scoped me up and down and gave me clean bill.

The CT showed a spondylolisthesis of my spine. After an 8hr fusion surgery the neurosurgeon said I had degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis and a pars defect at L4-5 with major compression of the nerve roots and he had decompressed them as far out as he could. It all stemed from an occurance I had at 22 of being bent almost in half backwards.

 After the surgery I was pain free for about three weeks and then developed a constant burning pain in both thighs, numbness in both legs and a constant chronic pain across my belt line that ran down both buttocks.

Now it was on to the PMD for PT and 4 years of taking almost every musle relaxer, nerve pain pills and shots in my spine above my fusion, oxycodne for break thru pain.

Four months ago after obtaining no relief I informed by PMD I have had enough. I cant take it any longer and asked about acupuncture or SI Joint therapy which he dismissed. I really liked this guy but we weren't getting anywhere and finally told him I wouldnt be back when he finally relented and said he would try the SI Joint injections.

After getting 2 to 3 weeks of relife out of each of the 3 sets of injections I am going for ablation on my left SI joint this Friday and 2 weeks later for my right SI joint and hope to get some much needed long lasting relife.

My long winded point is you have to keep after it and them the doctors, there is something wrong in your body and you just have to find it.  Good luck.

Thank you very much for your history. You are a hero. I cannot imagine so much years of my life in a constant suffering :(

Seymour my history of pain and being a hero was not the point I was trying to express.

There are alot of people on here in lot worse shape then me, I feel fortunate when I read their posts.

My post was to try and reaffrim Mary&Graces post to you, you rule things out and move on, sometimes you have to stay on the docs or they will dismiss you. Thats all I meant by trying to explain my ordeal in order of things that happened.

It took a 6 months doing all the tests to find where my pain was coming from. They kept trying to tell me the pain was in my head and I said no, its in my chest, stomach and testicals.

Good luck keep looking.
