Answer 1

I am 35 also and also have problems with chronic pain syndrome and also require opioid medications for it. You mention the chest pain and I'm wondering if one of your possible problems could be a condition that I also suffer from: costochondritis (an inflammation of the cartillage around the ribcage). It's also possible that you could be suffering from a hormone imbalance of which I also have going on in addition to the chronic pain syndrome and other health issues.

I would recommend a consultation with an endocrinologist (a dr that treats diseases and disorders of the endocrine system-the system that relates to hormones). You mention that you are Diabetic and an endocrinologist may be able to help with this as well if you haven't gone to one already.

If your insurance requires it please start with your primary care physician first.

Answer 2

Gastric bypass surgery. You have to get control of your diet or you are at huge risk of dieing.
