I have undiagnosed severe abdominal pain which makes me unable to eat alot and the last few weeks my stomach keeps gwtting bigger. I dont usually go to the er for the pain unless ive hit a new level of pain and ive been there for an hour. I did that the other day and i was humiliated by the doctor and treated like a druggie. I dont know what to do anymore so in reevaluating the conditions in which i go there and i wanted to know what your opionions were?

Members responded to someone facing undiagnosed severe abdominal pain and dismissive treatment from doctors, with many encouraging them to find new healthcare providers who will take their symptoms seriously rather than returning to the ER where complex cases are often mishandled or dismissed. Several members offered practical suggestions including seeking a gastroenterologist, requesting specific imaging like abdominal CT scans, exploring possibilities like abdominal migraines, and trying remedies such as probiotics or papaya pills for symptom relief. A recurring theme was the frustration of navigating an often unsympathetic medical system while in pain, met with prayers, emotional support, and encouragement to keep advocating for proper diagnosis and care despite financial barriers.

I hope you will not be offended by my personal comment!
You said your stomach keeps getting bigger, is it tender to the touch? Are you able to void your bowels? When you went to the ER did they do an abdominal CAT Scan? If they did not do an abdominal CAT Scan and your symptoms continue to worsen I would encourage you to go back to the hospital and ask for an abdominal CAT Scan. I don’t know if you can request a test like that where you live but hopefully you will get a real Doctor who listens to you and does more testing!
I will keep you in my prayers,
Lindy

Look into finding another Dr. Some Drs have bad bedside manners.
