Abdominal pain plus extras
Posted , 9 users are following.
I've had a very strange array of symptoms and am not sure what to do them or what to even think about them.
The part that worries me the most is the frequency in which it has happened lately.
it starts with my fingertips getting cold and turning numb and painful when that stops i feel like something just above and to the left of my belly button flips inside. if my hand is there i can feel a flip (I'm not pregnant) that's followed by horribly sharp pains that radiate out from it across my stomach. this lasts between 10-15 minutes. when it stops I'm freezing cold and shivering. I then stand in the shower under scalding hot water (it doesn't feel hot) it doesn't warm me up but it helps enough for me not be convulsing from shivering and it takes several hours to actually warm up.

My advice to you is to go to Emergency ASAP and ask for a CT scan. I Had similar symptoms and a PA at urgent care saved my life. I kept telling the doctors about the pain on the left side and severe chills and sweats and nobody was helping me for two months. I was admitted to the hospital and I had emergency surgery. My toes on one foot went numb too.
Do not be scared but abdominal and colon issues are nothing to waste time about. Now I kept telling the doctors about the pain on the left side and severe chills and sweats and nobody was helping me for two months. I was admitted to the hospital and I had emergency surgery. Do noy be scared but abdominal and colon issues are nothing to waste time about. Now I’m dealing with C-diff And another two months of pain two hospital visits and three primary doctors until the G.I. ran ran a stool test and found the infection that I probably had when all this started and definitely from more antibiotics. Unfortunately I had to learn things the hard way and I am continuing to do so. Keep us updated.

The reason I thought maybe an anxiety/panic attack because you mention your hands and and such I have gotten with a panic and anxiety attack before, but since for you it's not then I would call your GP or ER but due to coronavirus you could get advice and maybe even needed antibiotics from the online doctor that see's you through video, thats the ones I see now because of the coronavirus at least for now.

My perforation was 2 years ago followed by a bowel resection ileostomy bag for 3 months and then a reversal . . Appendectomy last November because of surgical adhesions. . Doing ok but still have issues with back pain.

How long was your recuperation and dealing with your surgeries? I’m afraid that’s what I’m going to have to deal with after getting c diff.

My surgeon had me stay out of work for 6 weeks. I'm so glad I had colon resection and now have my life back. i lived in pain and fear for couple years.

that is how i feel. what happened before surgery? these doctors keep throwing out surgery to me without knowing my case. waiting for mri results and we will see if 4 months was just from an unnecessary drainage. i am really tired ans nap every day but otherwise all is much better bowelwise so curious what happed to you while waiting for surgery?

I tried to control with diet but that didnt work for me. no matter what i ate i was still having attacks. My doctor said i was one of the unlucky ones. I was in and out if the hospital, ER and lots of doctor visits . I also had C Diff and once they got me healed enough i was scheduled for surgery. I had already had a small preforation and was at risk for rupture.
i had my surgery Halloween day on Thursday and left the hospital on Saturday. I was expecting to stay 4 or more days. surgeon said i was healed and could ear what ever i wanted. I soon got back to my regular weight plus some. Good luck
