Extreme Unbearable IBS Pain

Greetings. This a lengthy story, all the (Side Note) paragraphs are not important, they are me just spilling my thoughts onto the keyboard. Feel free to skip them to shorten the port.

In 2017 I was hit with a pain so extreme that I was on the ground crying and calling 911. When they came, I was taken to the ER. There they tried to give me pain medicine such as Morphine and others, but the pain would not go away. Eventually it calmed enough for me to be able to leave. For the next 2 months I went to a Gastroenterology to figure out what was wrong with me, he did both an Endoscopy and a Colonoscopy, but found nothing but slightly inflammation in the Large Intestine. He did said I had IBS, but then slowly I just kind of forgot about it. I was able to eat Burgers and Fries and Wings and basically anything. The only time it hurt was when I had diarrhea.

Cut to 2019, about 2 months ago, I had once again, a pain that was out of this world. I was literally screaming and breaking things around my house from the pain. I almost dug my hands into my abdomen and pulled out my intestines just so the pain would go away. I was back at another ER. And again, not pain killers were able to stop the pain, not eve a bit. I was let go because I had "nothing wrong with me", even thought the pain was still there. 3 days of constant pain, not as bad as when I went to the ER, but pretty bad. I ate an apple, and all of the sudden, I was crying and screaming again, back to the ER I go. Once again, nothing wrong, and no medicine could help.

(Side note: I was there for almost 4 hours waiting for someone to even see me, I was literally screaming and shivering at the pain and no one even came by to give me a Tylenol or anything. Why are Hospitals like this? If a pain is so severe that the person is shaking from pain and begging every 10 minutes to see a Doctor, why wouldn't that be a priority? There were people literally playing on their phones laughing in the waiting room, and they were patients. Meanwhile I was there scratching at my legs almost peeling my skin from the pain).

Anyway, they found nothing again.

It's been 2 months a few days, and the pain has not gone away. I've seen two separate Gastroenterologist and no progress has happened yet. I had another Colonoscopy and Endoscopy, but once again nothing came up and they only found inflammations in the Large Intestine.

The deal is like this:

It hurts almost constantly Below my belly button.

Pain does happen in other places in my abdomen sometimes, but the one under the navel is always there.

Sometimes I go 3 days without defecating.

Using the restroom sometimes hurts, sometimes it doesn't.

I have not eaten anything other than white rice and soup with only a select amount of vegetables.

Sometimes it flames up really badly and it hurts incredibly bad.

I had Almond Milk one of these days, and I had immediate pain and diarrhea.

I've tried Peppermint Oil Pills and nothing happen (good or bad).

I've lost almost 50 lb in the past 2 months.

I've tried several Antispasmodic but none seem to work.

I have not had any blood in my stool. The stool was dark for about 3 days, but I had also been eating

blueberries all those days.

The hope I had has slowly been drained out of me. I've been essentially completely bedridden for the past 2 months. Everyday I wake up, I want nothing more than to go back to sleep. I don't want to be awake anymore. I've even called the Help Crisis Hotline several times because I've thought about cutting my abdomen open and pulling my intestines out. Nothing cheers me up anymore. I cry almost everyday, I lay on my floor and just cry.(Side Note: I had a full ride to college and I was all set to leave in August, but the pain prevented me from attending and I lost all the money. I haven't been able to work, the only funds I am surviving on are my college funds, but those are slowly draining.)

(Side Note: This pain has giving me so much despair that for a single second, on a particular day, I weighted the pros and cons of ending it all. And ALL of this in the span of 2 months. This constant, unbearable, agonizing pain has been there for 2 months straight, not a second of relief, not a moment of mercy.)

What can I do? I've had so many tests done to me. These include; several Blood Tests, several CT scans, several X-Ray Scans, Several Urine Tests, and a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy, but they have all came clean, all of them. According to these tests I am a healthy human being, yet I am in pain all day.

Can Anyone help me? Has anyone had this type of pain before and have figured out what this could be? Can anyone suggest any form to relieve the pain? Do you have any idea what this may be? Can anyone please help me?

(Side Note: It does suck that I have spend so much money in Doctors and they did absolutely nothing. One of them basically told me to go to another one because he could not find what was wrong with me. It seems they don't even care. They see me and quickly say "Alright see you in 2 weeks" while saying next to nothing that can help me at all. But they never forget to tell me to pay on my way out, oh no, that is the top priority here, not the fact that I am barely able to walk straight from the pain, forget that, the money is where is at.)

Thank You for taking the time to read this, I know I seem very angry but I have almost nothing left to try anymore, this pain has traumatized me and made me so bitter at everything. Please Consider leaving a reply, have a great day.
