My 40 yr old daughter has experienced episodes of constipation for many years. Recently prescribed Miralax. End of May was hospitalized for 3 days, for extreme pain under her rib cage. Had elevated white blood cell count and abnormal liver readings. After treatment with antibiotics those readings were normal. Had colonoscopy - negative, 2 MRI, everything looked ok, gall bladder removed 4 yrs ago. 4 Weeks later, still experiencing pain off and on, excessive tiredness and is unable to eat more than a couple of bits at a time due to "feeling so full". Am frustrated that no one can seem to give a diagnosis as to what is wrong. THere is definitely something NOT right.
Any suggestions appreciated.
I agree that it could be pancreatius, but she also needs an endoscopy. Not being able to eat more than a few bites could signal a growth. I would strongly recommend an endoscopy and an abdominal CAT scan. She should also have the CA 125 blood test for ovarian cancer. Some of her symptoms resemble early symptoms. I am not meaning to scare you at all, just want all of these things ruled out so she can get whatever treatment she needs as soon as possible.
I have had the same pain for 6 months, had every test and all negative. Did your daughter get any kind of diagnoses?
