Stabbing pain Burning sensation medications are not helping at all what to do ?!


Sat, July 21, 2018 6:16 AM

Hi everyone , 
 
I’m writing to everyone here ...
 Very briefly..;
I have been diagnosed with mild proctitis in March then with chronic colitis in May 2018.
 
My life since February 2018 is HELL.
I have been experiencing stabbing sharp pain on my left side ( lower abdomen ) . As a female just like everyone out there would think that is something related to my uterus... I have seen many gynaecologist and nothing ... finally I decided to have a laparoscopic surgery just to ‘ rule out’ the possibility of having Endimetriosis.. 
 
Now I’m still in so much pain and the gynaecologist confirmed that there is nothing abnormal in my uterus so I’m  back to the gastroenterologist...
Since April I have this. Running sensation in my vagina ( I’m assuming is because of the inflammation) 
My faceal cp was 560 in April and I had a sigmoidoscopy then a colonoscopy privately ...
 
Now I can not spend anymore money on private health care and the medicine I have been given ( salofalk , asacol stopped the bleeding but I’m in pain still! I have been taking painkillers since January 2018 and I never had a ingle day without NSDAs etc .
 
I really don’t like these drugs and I am also aware of the side effects. 
 
I am going to see a specialist soon but I just want to be pain free.
 
Is there anyone who is experiencing this stabbing pain on the left side and the burning sensation?! What could you do ?
 
I feel hopeless , I have been mistreated and misdiagnosed many times .
I just want te pain to go away ... 
 
 
Thank you for all your support !
