My wife of 30 years is suffering from a high level 10+ constant stabbing pain in the upper center chest under her breasts for over 2 years. Her pain is controlling her quality of life every waking minute.
She has seen very high level specialists (the best doctors) for her colonoscopy (12/2012), a couple of endoscopies, as well as high level endoscopies, ultrasounds, HIDA scans and pancreatic tests at Cedar-Sinai. This testing lead to the probability of 50% that if her gallbladder was removed, it would stop the pain. The gallbladder was removed this past May 2013 without relieving her pain. Their next step was the suggestion of pain management through mediation.
She is again having another colonoscopy on 1/13/2014.
It is hard for me to believe the doctors are unable to find a solution for a pain in one localized area.
It is obvious to me they do not know what to do and all I know is that this pain to stop!
Your thoughts.
