adhesions

I am so very frustrated with the entire medical
profession.I've had numerous surgeries, both
abdominal, as well as four spinal fusions. Now,
I'm not only in constant pain from my failed back
syndrome as the call it, but I'm totally miserable
in that I can't eat without hurting, either my
GERD or can't have BM's without major help.
I've been to drs begging for help, but the minute
they see I'm on pain meds, thay's the answer to
them..even if I tell them I don't take them all
the time. The dr I saw last week told me the
constipation effect would last several weeks or
a couple of months after getting off pains meds
and if I took a couple during that time it would
affect me bowels.
I literally cry and try to explain to them that
I know something is seriously wrong ! I have no
feelings in my lower bowels, there is no
peristalsis. Even if I'm having a diahrea problem
my bowels still will not evacuate, and that makes
me miserable. I don't like to eat anymore at all..
from the time I put food in my mouth it does
nothing but cause me pain.
How do I get a doctor to really hear me and help
me? The last 2 times I've had a colonoscopy, the
stuff they give you to drink, took hours before
it started working and I was not cleaned out for
either test, but the drs did the test anyway.It
really worries me that something could go wrong
and I would never know it because of the way I'm
ingored by the medical profession. I'd appreciated
any help or suggestions you may have. Thank you
in advance, p j hunt
