Can things get any worse?

[bern]

The last four weeks have been hell. I had to have emergency operation on my colon. Lost 6 inches of it, along with my appendix, and a large (non cancercous) tumor.  Plus 15 staples. I am overwhelmed by this and now my ear ache is pain with a vengence. I guess the pain medications from the surgery took care of it for awile. BUT now that i stopped meds., pain is severe.

I need help finding a doctor who can diagnosis this ear pain. it is in the place where my AN is located. 

i am only 46 and can't take anymore trauma to my body.

Bern,

As bad as things seem, it could well be worse....you could have had a cancerous tumor.  I am happy for you that it was non-cancerous. Small comfort that may seem, but you do have to look for the good things. Especially when you are in so much pain - exactly when it is hardest to do. Doing your best to be positive can really help in pain management.

You have my prayers and best wishes. Do try to be positive...at 46 you still have the potential of many good years ahead of you. Make it clear to all the docs you encounter just how badly you hurt....find a doc that will help you.

We are all pulling for you here...good luck!
