Hi all.  I went  wed. morning and had a CT scan on my side and back where I've been hurting for the last 7 weeks.  Called Dr. McDowell today and was told that the radiologist couldn't see anything wrong at all.  Dr was out this week so nurse said he would look at results on monday and call me.  I'm at my wits end.  I've been to PCP,  he said muscle spasms and gave me muscle relaxers.  Went to chiropractor for about 3 weeks--no help.  Went back to PCP--he gave me pain pills and did an ultrasound to check my gallbladder-- no problem there.  Now the CT scan shows nothing!  I'm soooo frustrated.  I can't describe how bad the pain is.  I literally sit at work in tears because it hurts so bad.  I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get some kind of relief soon.  Thanks for listening (reading)to me vent. Ok Bob, give me some cheese to go with my "whine".  LOL!! Melissa

melissa ~  have they talked to you about... do they think it might be...  kidney stones? I have never had them, but have heard it causes severe back pain. Justa  thought.  Melinda could probably tell you more about this...  ~  Tara

From what Danita said this morning, there were no gallstones or kidney stones.  As bad as this sounds, I was really hoping for one of them.  At least I would know what the problem was.  Now I feel like I'm back at square one!!!

Kidney stones would have shown up on a cat scan.

Melissa, I'm sorry they still have not been able to identify what the problem is.  I hope the pain goes away soon or they are able to figure out what is going on. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.  Have a great time in Pigeon Forge and I wish you a very Happy Birthday.
