Why Does Severe Pain Start Under The Rib Cage When The Liver Enzymes Are Maximum?
I had a partial colectomy 3 yrs ago. I have diabetes, RA and gastroparesis. I am a 50 yr old female. Drs believe that West Nile from 6 yrs ago set off auto immune diseases I was predispositioned to have. That said I am nauseas everyday for which they give me antimedics, I am always in pain so sometimes im not sure when I should go in to be seen. I am also Native American. My last hospital stay was 1 yr ago when my liver enzymes hit the roof for which they never figured out. When something like that happens the Nausea and pain are unbearable. Last night, for no apparent reason my left side below my rib started hurting...the pain is familiar to when I had diverticulits just on the other side. I am extremely itchy and am sweating off and on profusely. Finally Im not sure how to explain this but I feel like my breath smells like feces. My pain tolerance is very high and like I said I just hate going in for something minor. I guess I need to know how much will it cost for your advice first.
