And here is my short > story: > Hi I have a daughter living in Huntsville, AL who is 24 and having identical symptoms as you described. She has been through all the GI scopes, Colon scopes, CT s cans, HIDA scan, extensive blood work, gall bladder removed, etc. and still in extreme pain. Her enzymes are elevated one week, and normal the next. She's been on phenergan and vicodin daily and has been for the past 8 weeks and totally unable to go to work. The GI dr in Huntsville had draw a blank as to where to look further so sent her to the med center in Birmingham for a consult. The drive was painful enough for her and that dr. was not very good (in my opinion) for being an " expert " - as he sent her home with recommendation to take antidepressants and to repeat the CT and MRI and blood work and come back in a month! Being the investigative person that I am (in my unofficial MD degree from internet research I suggested that she come to Indianapolis (where we live) to the Med center here and got her an appointment with Dr. Lehman on June 21. Hopefully he will do a MRCP and if necessary an ERCP and get this pain diagnosed. We suspect Spinchter of Oddi dysfuncton. I will keep posting updates as they happen that may help others get proper treatment. I hope and pray that relief will come soon for her through meds, surgery, etc. Hang in there and keep searching, Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
