Have Stomach Pain. Unable To Sleep. Took Vicodin. Treatment?

for the past couple years I have been getting stomach pains so horrible it keeps me from working sleeping anything. it comes in waves the pain is right above and below my belly button. it gets so bad that last night I took two vicodin that I had left over from having my gallbladder removed (thinking that the pain would stop after having it removed) and it still didn't even help one bit. it comes on suddenly and gets worse I feel every time it comes back. the docs cant seem to figure out what the fuck it is but its getting to the point where its lasting longer and I cant keep going on like this and missing work and sleep, I am only 23 and I need this to be figured out......

Hello,

You're having frequent episodes of severe abdominal pain.
You have undergone cholecystectomy in the past.
The pain may be due to adhesions in the abdomen following surgery.
This is a common occurrence in many postsurgical patients.
If this is the case than medication can do little help in controlling or curing it.
Due to Gallbladder involvement in the past it may any pathology to the level which may be causing you trouble.
Consult a gastroenterologist.
