Thank you OMB. Yeah, it does. Sadly I seem to spend a lot of time banging my head on a wall talking to dismissive disinterested professionals who I pay a lot of money to for I'm not sure what reason. I will consider a second opinion if things continue to hurt. Unfortunately where I live is rather lacking in good health care. Most of it involves travel to the city capital which is a few hours away and I have anxiety problems so that makes that a little difficult. Thank you for the support! x
Thanks Ever the Optimist. Ugh, sounds like we are in a similar situation. My GP is generally happy to refer me to people but often seems baffled when I tell him I want a second opinion or that I didn't click with someone. He seems to think professionals are just fantastic and not capable of being dismissive.
How frustrating for you! I can't believe doctors are happy to send patients home to just live with being in pain and not care. Where is the duty of care?!?!
Hmm that's definitely something to consider about the scar tissue and making things worse.
I'm sorry you're right here with me in all this misery
. I guess for now I'll just keep bumbling along and hoping to get the balance right. Always fun with IBS. When I add fibre to my diet I cease to go at all but as soon as I take even half a movicol or half a stool softener I get tummy pains and diarrhea. There seems to be no happy medium with my body!
