Post surgery problems

I had excellent health before my appendectomy and since then, I can barely take care of myself.  I've been to 8 doctors and nobody has been able to find anything wrong on any of my tests.  My right side hurts so bad that I'm constantly sick to my stomach, not to mention the joint and muscle pains that consume me.  I did some research and found out that my staples are titanium and people really do have allergies to this metal, contrary to what a lot of doctors think.  I have spoken with two doctors in order to get the proper testing (from melisa) and neither one of them will honor my request.  I'm not able to work and I'm about to go broke paying for all of these doctors visits and medical bills.  Can someone recommend a doctor or tell me the magic thing to say when I see one so that I can get the proper test done?  
Thanks!!!

I had a hip replacement in Dec. 09 and have had a terrible itch all over my body-could this be allergy related? Nat

hi blondie,
i can think about the pain and dissatisfaction you are going through.
I think you should consult a Gastro-surgeon for this problem. Sometimes general surgeon tends to omit these minute details.
regards
