How Can Extreme Abdominal Pain After A Surgery Be Treated?
My husband has suffering intermittently with extreme abdominal pain since February 2017 when he was taken to the emergency room while on vacation in another country, at which time they thought they saw something on the CT scan in the small intestine, did surgery but found that everything started to flow when wiggling the intestine. So, they closed him up, stated he may have Chrones disease and suggested he see his regular doctor or an internist upon returning home. He did so, had another CT scan and a colonoscopy, but nothing was found. He has dropped from 165 pounds to 138 pounds since. The pain is very severe and seems rather unpredictable, but it does seem to be triggered by either over-eating or anxiety. We really need advise please. Thank you!

Hello,
* There must be substantial amount of reason for this agonizing pain and the precise diagnosis is pivotal part of the case.
* Either inflammatory bowel disease, intestine ischemia syndrome or other malfunctions of the GIT may be playing significant role in this regard.
* If the conventional molecules as morphine or Tramadol are not able to handle the pain, epidural analgesia is a very good promising act of pain control till one reaches at the root cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
