What causes burning pain in abdomen?
Patient: My urologist prescribed Tamsulosin for BPH. I took it one night, along with my Tolterodine. I awoke that night in a terrible burning pain that felt like a line of lit gasoline racing about in my lower abdomen. I stopped taking these pills immediately. I am a functioning quadriplegic who has suffered from burning pain for almost 19 years. I had a cystoscopy done to finally see if there was a reason for my chronic pain. Instead, worse burning pain, still, after three days. My opoids can calm the pain, but only temporarily. I am a pro active patient, and want to know how I can rid myself of this lake of fire.(I have just completed a novel about my entire experience, and the health care profession does not seem credible, let alone proficient. Any answers. (Am I corresponding with a machine or real flesh and blood.) Sincerely, Gary Pierluigi Doctor: Hi Gary Pieluigi.Thanks for your query.You are interacting with a real Doctor of flesh and blood and not the machine.The causes of burning pain in the abdomen : in your case can be IBS- irritable bowel syndrome or Neurological in origin as some Sensory nerve would have got compressed or entrapped. I can think of this with the history of functioning quadriplegic with the history of taking Tamsulocin, Tolterudine and then getting pain. But the pain is persistent and the character is like a gasoline flame racing in lower abdomen. Since you have a burning pain for almost 19 years, I would recommend you to undergo the tests of MRI of the whole spine and find the cause and get further treated for ablasion or removal of the discs if protruding and get well.
