My wife has been experiencing steadily increasing right-sided back pain (where the ribs start), which curves around to her abdomen, since February. She had her gallbladder removed 8 years ago, and it's perhaps where the bile duct was clipped.
We are now on a lidocaine patch, 50mcg Duragesic patches q72H, and approx. 4.5 percocet 5's a day.
When this all began in Feb/March, we went to the ER a couple of times and had a few short stays where all labs and scans returned normal... Of course, she was treated like the "drug seeker" and sent on her way with "There's nothing else we can do." For a while, getting adequate pain coverage was a challenge.
She is scheduled to see a pain specialist next week, and we may do a neurologist after; the universal consensus from those MD's who at least tried (and we've seen several) was that she has an idiopathic neuralgia associated with one of the ribs.
Her pain continues to worsen, and we're running out of ideas.
Any thoughts?

Ahh, a fellow nurse. Both my wife and I are RN's too. :)
All of the urine labs and cultures were normal, as were her BUN and creat. No blood in urine. Kidneys *should* be okay.

Well, I am no medical professional, but probably the solution I know would help:
Go for a manual one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effect on the self-healing power of the body is simply amazing. The spine is set straight for the first time in life, relaxing muscles and other organs as well.
It's really worth travelling far - at present, the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing around 200 Dollars. I've experienced it myself. :-)

it sounds like we commit to start up differentiating between emotional love, and sexual allure. even as emotional love is significant for better health, and health. actual love, is significant for production of offspring. neither one has any impression on survival of the fittest. . survival of the fittest, is depending on the solid preying on the weak. and contained in the animal kingdom, the position they wrestle for the right to reproduce. and only the solid are allowed to reproduce, therefore passing on the better genes. per chance for this reason that female canines, have attained one of those undesirable call.
