Hello everyone i am new here. I would like to say what a great site this is and i look forward to being able to engage with you all.

I am a 21 yo female with cf and have over the last 3 months been experiencing severe abdominal pain. I see a fantastic cf team however despite a 1 month admission and a number of tests and examinations they are unable to uncover anything. The pain comes most days and is so bad i have resorted to heavy painkillers against my better judgement. both the pain and the painkillers are so life limiting and i am really tired of it all. I just want to be able to enjoy life and not be restricted by this ongoing issue.

So given i have had endoscopes, cts, ultrasound, bloods, colonoscopy and reflux, bowl problems, gall blader problems, liver function have all been ruled out WHAT ON EARTH COULD IT BE???<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

and secondly what do you use for severe pain management?

All responses and support are so greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

When I was in constant, excruciating pain, warm or hot salt water baths helped. This was at a time when painkillers barely took the edge off. Eventually, resolving the underlying problems caused me to have less and less pain. When I have gone through bad drug withdrawal, my son has been known to give me a single sugar cookie (one and only one). The sugar releases endorphins from the brain. It doesn't kill pain the same way a drug does but it did make me feel dramatically less miserable.

I have no idea what could be causing the abdominal pain.
