living post op after 24 years

[rkh1231]

I have been getting all kinds of x-rays, cat- scans & mri's. But nothing seems to show up. I keep thinking of the adhesions because, I know this is going to sound very funny but believe me when these things are in a full blow pain problem for me, it actually looks like I am to give birth to one of those allens. My ribs on the left side actually rise and roll and you can see the muscles just rise and fall. During this the pain is so bad. I guess that I am getting so upset about this, is because I have always worked two jobs and not this has made me drop to nothing. My irritable bowel hasn't brothered me since I had the surgery unless of course I eat milk products. I have also started to have problems with my eating. I have droped almost 40lbs just in the last two months. I know that on my frist surgery they did the stapling but for some reason my body kept refusing the staples. After the frist year they had to go back in and do the by-pass. I have had some pain control treatments done and after the treatments were done the Dr. gave me some of the x-ray pictures. I kept asking about a staple that I kept seeing in the lower part of my back. I asked if maybe I had a lose staple but he kept saying that he thought that it was maybe the way I was laying. I keep telling my poor Drs.that I am their worse nightmares. For some odd reason my body works backwards then it should. I need to found a Dr. in the Wichita, Ks. area. If there is anyone that maybe someone knows about that might at lest see me or even talk to me would be so helpful. There was no one in Denver that would speak to me because I had the surgery so many years ago. My primary Dr. did not know what to do with after 13 years thou he has been tring everything for me. Thanks
