Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Pain On The Abdomen With History Of Capal Navicular Surgery
Hello Doc,
I have been having intermittent throbbing in my lower right abdomen from March of this year until the present. I have had a barium swallow, ct scan, upper GI ultrasound, and colonoscopy completed, all of which had unremarkable results minus a small benign polyp and a stone in my kidney which the doctor is not worried about.
I'm concerned with this dull throbbing pain as I have been diagnosed with IBS, which I told my GP I am uncomfortable with that diagnosis. I was put on Dicyclomine by the Gastroenterologist.
I have had ARD since 2003 and was on ranitidine for years, had a scope done in 2007 which verified in which the doctor put me on omeprazole (and I've been on that for years). I'm 27, 215lbs, 5'10''. I have also had carpul navicular surgery on my wrist where bone was grafted from my right hip (also has a burning sensation associated with the throbbing in the right hip.) I have a varicocele removed from my left testicle in 2008. I think that's all.

HI.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Since all the tests are normal you are a patient of IBS for sure.
The proper treatment is as follows:
Treatment:
''STRESS'' = stress is the most important cause of IBS. Please remember and you must have observed that when you do not have stress your problem with IBS is reduced
Change of lifestyle.
I think 'may be' you are not coping with something.
Vacation outside of your area, mobiles phones to be off.
You must have noticed already that these changes help a lot.
Try to avoid anything which you are / have to do against your will and wish. Getr into the hobbies which make you forget the world around you. Life comes only once, boss.
If the change of routine helps, the necessity of medicines is drastically reduced to almost nil.
Medicines ::
You need to have a prescription of a Doctor, please discuss this with a Gastroenterologist to get a prescription. I would like to know which medicines have you taken in the past and in which dosage
Vit A and Vit D in therapeutic doses,
Multiviatamins ,
probiotics,
anxiolytics help a lot.
Pain in the hip is due to the surgery and will get OK with time and medicines
