been very sick

I thought maybe I should post this to my friends on here so you would know why I haven't been on much..... Tues i had terrible stomach pain felt just like someone had punched me in the middle of my stomach. Wednesday when I woke up it was still there not as bad though.... I was supposed to leave on thursday to go to a coldwell banker convention in florida which i had won for being top sales in our company so i thought well maybe i better just go have this checked out so i went to the urgent care of course they sent me to the emergency room after learning that i had gastric bypass surgery So i sat at the emergency room for approx 9 hours they did ultra sound,xray,and finally catscan and of course numerous viles of blood. Dr. comes in and says well we know why you are in pain......you have a one cent. kidney stone and a 15c x11c mesentric cyst/growth that is attatched to your colon that will have to be surgically removed... they sent me home with NO pain medication and told me if it got worse to come back and to follow up with a surgeon etc. that night i got in so much pain that i was in tears so we went back of course there was a different dr. on duty by then, she wants to run more tests on me after waiting in the waiting room for 3 hours ...of course i said NO I JUST WANT PAIN MEDS and you are going to give me something and i am going to go home....so she gives me a shot that takes pain aways but makes me a jittery.......so i can't sleep.... next day which was yesterday i call my family doctor he is very upset that they didn't give me something for pain he hooks me up i tell him though i don't want a narcotic that is going to make me not be able to function (LOL) he gives me this stuff tramadol which is wonderful takes all my pain away makes me a little sleepy but not higher than a kite............ I see him tuesday and then i have to go see the surgeon and the uroligist as well... I did post this on the main board because before i went to the dr. i was wondering what it might be ..i know i was just throwing a line out in the wind.....LOL..but wondered if anyone had ,had that same type of pain..... anyways sorry for the long post but thought i better let you girls /guys know where i was especially since (DEAR JUDI PM'D ME) thanks sweetie..... love you guys! Crystal

Crystal - I'm so sorry this has happened to you...what a long wait in pain. You've been such a source of good cheer to the rest of us, and I hope I can return the favor to you at some time. You're in my prayers, Sweetie. Keep us informed.

Oh Sweetie... I hate hearing that you went through such pain and agony.. and shame on those ER people. They should have known better and given you pain meds that would help you and not wire you. You are in my prayers right this minute. Blessings to you, sweet Crystal!

I saw on your mypace you were sick. I din't know how bad! big hugs to you. Ouch Kidney stone. my hubs had them and after the procedure with the vibration thingy that breaks them up he was told to drink lemonade. We've been drinking SF Tropicana lemonade since. It comes in a 2 liter bottle and is in the soda aisle. Great wasy to get in a different liquid too. Love you much

aw honey you're in my prayers!

i had toradol after my surgery, good stuff! hope you feel better soon Crystal. I've heard kidney stones suck the big one. And I'm SO sorry you missed your trip, guess you and the family will have to plan one! hugs, judi

OH NO, Sorry to hear you are not feeling well and that you had so much pain. HOpe you are feeling better FAST!! Keep us posted on how you make out. Sending you big hugs Becky

Hi, So sorry to hear that you had a kidney stone, I feel your pain, I had one 3 weeks after surgery. That is horrible that they didn't give you pain medicine. Take it easy and drink lots of fluids. Tracy

Oh honey....I'm sooooo sorry you are going through this! Kidney stone are not fun in and of themselves (I've had them twice, but had pain in the back with mine) I wonder if it's the cyst that is causing the stomach pain.....I hope you are feeling better. Take care of you girl! Pam
