Abdominal pain update.

So it has been a month and a half since that pain started and they still cannot figure out what is wrong with me. The pain has now moved it is still the right side of my abdomen, but now it has moved above my belly button, the pain in my back has gotten worse and has moved up farther and not I have had a pressure in the back of my hear for 3 days now, also I have some random bruises on my abdomen and I don't know where they came from. I went to see my family doctor last week on monday and she gave me one of the highest doses of naproxen that she could give me to help with the pain because I have now come immune to advil from taking it so much trying to get rid of the pain, and she sent me off for another ultrasound. So on thuesday I went and had the ultrasound done and yet a gain it looked normal to them. Then I spent 9 hours in the hospital last night 5 of which I spent waiting to see a doctor. When I was finally able to go back and see a doctor all he did was take my blood and run a urine test. He gave me some tylenol 3's to take to help with the pain and they did nothing instead they made the pain in my head worse. Then 3 hours later he came back with the results from the tests and said that my white cell count was slightly elevated. He said that it could be because of a slight bladder infection and gave me some antibiotic's to take for 3 days. He also said that these results had shown up on the past tests that I had done the last 2 times I was there. What I don't get is how the other doctors missed it. If it is an infection the pain should go away with taking the antibiotics but if not I am running out of options. After he gave me the antibiotics he sent me home and said to come back if the pain got worse and to go and see my family doctor again this week. He also told me that I could have celiacs disease but that they could not test for that at the hospital because the test took too long for them to do and said to get my family doctor to run the test for it. I got home at 4:30 am and tried to sleep, 2 hours later I woke up in a lot of pain but chose not to go to the hospital because I knew they would just run the same tests and give me the same results like the last 3 times, instead I waited until 9:00am for my doctors office to open and went there instead. She looked and the medication the doctor gave me and decidied to change it because she said that it was only good for a bladder infection and gave me a different antibiotic that would fight an infection anywhere in my abdomen, she then sent me off for another urine test and a blood test to check for things that the hospital can not look for. I am now waiting for the results and have another doctors apointment on friday. I am hoping this time the test will show something because I am running out of options. I am not at a total of 10 doctors, 3 radiologists, 16 nurses, 2 ultrasounds, 4 urine tests, 4 blood tests, a pelvic exam and a CT scan and still no answer. If they cannot find out what is wrong with me I don't know what I am going to do.
