Roger,
I had continuous stomach pain from Jan. to
June 2005. The stomach pain began the day after
surgery (aortic valve replacement). After 5 trips
to the first gastroenterologist and a few tests and
many perscriptions, the pain continued.
I changed doctors and after a 10 min. consultation
with another specialist, he diagnosed my problem as
adhesions caused by the surgery. He prescribed
amitriptyline 25mg (once a day at bed time).
Understand it's important to only use the low 25mg dosage.
The next morning my pain was gone, although the stomach
felt a little weak, and the weakness became less pronounced
on a daily basis. In 7 days my stomach felt great, just
like old times. I'd be interested in hearing from you
if this works. Hopefully by now, some doctor has figured out
and corrected your problem.
I truely understand the quality of life situation that
goes with this stomach pain.
