advice please

Again I follow what my doctor wants me to do, go to a Rheumatologist and see a phychiatrist. So i wait 3 months for the phychiatrist and ofcourse what a joke. Waste of time and energy. The Rheumatologist took 2 months to get back to me. Only to find out that dr.s nurse left post it notes all the time telling her to call me. So she wants to try some injections in my fingers, after prednisone not working. Did not tell me what kind of injections. Who even know's how many times I have been on prednisone. It will help for maybe a month with my knuckels getting stuck, fingers in bent position. The numbness from fingers to elbow's. Yes, I was told at one time it was carpel tunnel, but of course my insurance would not cover the EMG.

Every 4-6 months I get this pain in my stomach, and it last's 2 weeks- 1 month, or so. It feels like im getting poked from a needle inside, very sharp and eating makes it worse. 2 nights ago I woke up in the middle of the night with severe pain, I had to go into fetal position, by the time I could move to get to the bathroom all I could do is cry, and pretty much spent the night in the bathroom.

 I was sent to a surgeon and he wants to do a laprascopy, upper endoscopy, and a colonoscopy. Since my c-section in 2005 I have had 2 laprascopy and had lesions cut from scar tissue.

I am not able to just stop taking my meds, 8 hours b4 surgery for one and I don't think I need all the procedures done. I think I would rather live with the pain, than go threw all those procudures. It does'nt help that I have allready had 2 laprascopy's and kinda makes me think why would it help this time if not the last 2 times.

Im very confused and feel rushed into these procedures.

I have to get a sitter, get a driver and have someone to watch my little one while im recovering. This is gonna be hard to do, since everybody works and don't have family that lives by me. thier allready calling to set up a date and I don't want to answer my phone, since I don't agree with what they want to do and even if I did, I have nobody to help.

I was told I had IBS, but since zelnorm is no longer available, the stomach pain is always there, along with all the other IBS issues.

They don't want to look further into anything, but to throw me into surgery.

Does anybody have any helpfull information or advise for me???

This issue has stressed me out and now made my pain level go up, Im just fed up with

the medical profession and feel overwhelmed with doctors opinions and decisions.

And ofcourse the medical profession does not believe in Fibro, so us ppl in chronic pain are thrown from doctor to doctor.

How dicouraging it is to go to yet another appointment when you know what is gonna happen. Im so fed up with being treated like a criminal for having chronic pain, Fibro, arthritis and back injury.
