So I have posted here a few days ago about my pain and naseous and had a whole bunch of tests and nothing to report but still have the symptoms. Now after see gastric dr. going back to family dr. to see if it is something like kidney or pancreas or appendix? Back at 0 to figure this out and it is so frusturating because I know what i feel but nothing is showing up am i crazy? Oh, and new symptom is my back is absolutly killing me especially when I get up in the morning all down my spine from upper back to lower back ugh. Sorry to complain but don't know who else to talk to about it.
thanks for reading.

Have you (and/or your drs) ever considered the possibility that your condition may only be remotely related to your surgery--or that it may totally be unrelated?
That the problem area is not your pouch and guts and the other organs in the abdominal cavity?
Quite honestly, if one of my patients came to me (I am a general internist/diabetologist) with the same complaints that you have, and check that person out as thoroughly as possible without opening up and nothing comes up, and have that person come in one day complaining of the kind of back pain that you have, I will send that person off to a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon to have the back, the spine, and spinal cord checked out. The kind of pain you are experiencing sounds to me as being more neural (of the nerves) rather than visceral (of the organs and tissues). If there is something there, then obviously, nothing is going to show up with the standard methods for checking the GI tract and the abdominal organs, because you are checking the wrong place and wrong things.

If it were your pancreas, it should already have come up with all the exams you've been run through, and it also should come up with the blood labs, specifically the pancreatic enzymes, which are usually included in the routine panels. Also, the changes in the pancreas would have been noticed with the ultrasounds, as would kidney stones be, if there are any, and the CT scans which again will reveal kidney stones as well. The appendix is simply in the wrong area for your pain.
