Just Wondering If Sqad Is Around.

The daughter still here....problems still with her stomach and saw the GP and gastro doc yesterday, (after a lack of comms between them but they came together). The daughter has given a sample for a fecial calpectenin test that has to go off to Derriford, Plymouth, the GP then calling after further consultation with him to suggest Buscolpan for the stabbing pain that she is getting, upper right of the stomach and also affecting around the back.

She's moaning that it seems to be getting worse....and that the Busco and paracetemol is not working. Anything you would suggest in trying to keep her out of A&E on a Sat night and with the flu bouncing around there - I don't want the mater compromising on that front.

Many thanks...dtc,

what dose of buscopan is she taking?

[DTCwordfan]

2 pills 4 times a day

[woofgang]

phone 111 and ask about upping dose/adding in a second painkiller?

[DTCwordfan]

111 absolutely useless.

if you are worried then I think you should go to Cas
with her of course

[woofgang]

The only other thing I would suggest is hot mint or ginger tea or even ginger wine or creme de menthe mixed with hot water and hot waterbottles on the pain :( sorry
Oh this is a bit off the wall bit if you have got about 30 quid and think its worth a try, you can get online GP advice including prescriptions via skype....

dtc...from what you have said in previous posts about your daughter and her investigations, I think that we may well be looking at a psychosomatic disorder and that is way out of my remit.
As for the pain.....it sound that Buscopan is not the answer as it is a spasmolytic (it calms the bowels).
Difficult DTC....111? forget it.......I would take her to A&E as she may need someting stronger such as pethidine or similar.
Sorry DTC I haven't been any help.......

thanks all, not as bad now, apparently her white blood cell count is a little elevated.....so she is asking her gastro about this.....
