Suggest treatment for excruciating pain in the body
Patient: Hello I have been thru alot I have had 10 surgeries on my stomach 6 in 2013 and 4 more in 2015 for 3 hernias in which the last 3 were because of infection they have done so many cat scans and keep telling me they cant see anything but Im in so much pain I dont understand why but I know I cant take much more The first ones was because of divaticulitus and when the dr did the first surgery I ended up in icu and all my organs went into failure and now Im in so much pain its crazy what should I do? Doctor: Hi,  As a first line management you can try drugs like tramadol or gabapentin for pain relief.If symptoms persist better to consult a physiatrist and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
