If he/she can't do anything about your condition, then ask a Pain Management specialist (anesthesiologist specialized in pain medicine or algology). Best of all in this Holidays, Jon Denise:

My past medical history is quite extensive. I have a total of 7 surgeries since 1991 due to ulcer disease. Because of having a total gastrectomy and vagatomy, I am now experiencing this left-sided pain and am in pain 24/7. I have developed anemia during this timeframe for which I am receiving iron infusions every week for six weeks. (I have two left in this series.) The area for which I have the extreme pain (I believe it is my spleen)seems “full” at all times. It doesn’t change when I do not eat, however, it becomes extreme after I do eat. I try to eat every 1.5 to 2 hours intervals since I am only able to consume approximately 1/4 cup of food at a time. I am currently seeing a hematologist who has ordered the iron infusions. This clinic at the University of Minnesota works with a specific team — a Hematologist, Oncologist, Nurse Oncologist, etc. The pain doesn’t seem to subside no matter what I try. (FYI: I am 5′3 and 86 lbs.) Since I am experiencing this pain, I usually (9 times out of 10) experience vomiting after eating. I would appreciate any insight you believe would assist me to get through the next month until I see my hematologist again. I am scheduled to see her on 01/30/07.
