Re: My day from hell..Vent

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry.

I had the same type of pain, under my right breast. It followed my

rib cage and sternum. I was Dx w/ Costocondritis (sp).

I went to the ER a last week. They did and EKG, chest X-ray and gave

me a shot of Dilaudid and sent me home.

How can they send you home if they do not know what is causing the

pain. What idiots! I'm sorry nothing helped. I hope they figure out

what it is and that it is nothing serious.

yes yes, and went on for a long time, i got sent through the tests from hell to

include all cardiac tests only to get the ummmm.

Gall Bladder did they test your bilirubin and do a ultrasound on your gall

bladder or a abdominal xray?

So sorry to hear of such a horrible experience. I have never had chest pain or

abdominal pain with this. But alot of people with fibro do. I sure hope they

figure out what is wrong. The bloodwork alone shows that something is going on.

Keep pushing to find out.

hugs,

I woke up yesterday morning to pain in my chest, below my left boob

andin the middle of my rib cage. Once I got up and got ready for

work the pain was gone.

This morning same thing only 100 times worse. I seriously thought I

was having a heart attack. So I go to the ER (get there at 830) and

they draw blood and get a urine sample. The doc comes in and says I

have leucocytes (sp) in my urine and my blood shows an infection (not

a kidney or UTI) and also my enzymes in my liver are high.

They give me morphine in my IV and also some protonix (like pepcid).

Nothing. Pain still there, I'm still crying. They give me another

dose of morphine. Still in pain. They send me to ultrasound and she

checks my kidneys, liver, pancreas, blood flow, etc.

Get back to my room still having pain (10 on a scale of 10). Another

dose of morphine. Still nothing from it. So then they make me drink

Mylanta or Maalox (white and nasty liquid) mixed with novacaine.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! !!!!!!! No pain relief yet.

By the time I leave the hospital it is almost 300 p.m. After 6.5

hours I leave with a prescription for Protonix and Dilaudin and

paperwork that says I have " Abdominal Pain of Unknown Cause " . Ya

think??? I knew when I went in I was having pain and the cause was

unknown to me. Jackasses!

So now I have to wait until Monday to call my family doc and get an

appointment (at least a week away). In the meantime I am supposed to

sit here and if it comes back they want me to go back in. I am still

in pain, granted it is about a 5 on a scale of 10. The doctor was

acting like I have an ulcer or something even though the cocktail and

protonix didn't do a darn thing.

Anyone else have this kind of pain that isn't relieved by morphine?

I thought morphine would relieve any type of pain. My fiance's ex

wife is a nurse and was there with me (yes to some that would be

weird) and she asked him about costochondritis (sp) and he said that

wasn't it because when he pushed on the spot that I said hurt it was

just that spot and not all over.

I'm just so darn irritated right now. And higher than a freakin kite

from all the morphine. Wish I could sleep but I'm not even tired!

Obviously something is wrong, if you came back with screwy

bloodwork. Did they think to, like, *treat* the infection of unknown

cause and location?

Hope you can hold out till Monday and see your doc asap.
