A doctor please help me, I'm in pain and misery, suffering bad.

Hello,

This is my first blog ever, I don't know where to begin, I'm a 38 year old male from Indianapolis, Indiana, I'm married to a wonderful woman, she's great for me in life and Angie's beautiful inside and outside, I couldn't have done better I love her so much, we got married when she was 16 and I was 18, it's been almost 20 years now and she still looks 16. We have two great boys Derek 18 a Senior in high school, & Trent 16 a freshman in high school.

Here's what's going on, I have been in misery and pain for years, it's gotten so bad now in the last 3-4 weeks I can't believe I wake up some mornings, it's intestinal I'm sure, I have swelling and pain in my right hip with throbbing burning pain from it and a black spot on my lower hip leg area I can feel the burning pressure and pain dripping to the black spot, the spot has been here for over 3 years now, it all started back in like 2002 when I worked and lifted a lot of heavy stuff so I'm just about sure it's a femoral hernia but the doctors have run a lot of test and can't seem to find it, CT scans, MRI, barium, the entire work up. Now I have been worked up so much the doctors give up even, I can't get them to even check me anymore and it's gotten so bad it's unreal. They just pat me on the back and send me home saying well you have been checked and we can't find it basically, 10 doctors later they use the old test still. I don't really go to the ER but maybe twice this year, I don't want Anthem to drop me but it's gotten so bad now I'm afraid to go because if they send me home again and all hope is lost plus I don't want my insurance to drop me or something like it's abuse of the system or something. I have tried the safe good route to get this found and fixed but they don't get it, like this black spot and swelling is in my head or something, they are the ones that are nuts :-) It feels like I'm squishing a water balloon in my right hip when I sit on it, and it rumbles in there as a I pass gas or anything moves in there it hurts all the way to the black spot bad. I moan all night long after eating and stay up until 5am moaning, it's worse when sitting like it's kinked my intestines off in my hip bone area. I really feel it rumble and everything in my hip it's crazy, and like a drip burning every 30 minutes or so like it's about to rip open but doesn't do it yet, my back and right hip side is so sore now it's like I have been hit by a car, if I take laxatives it's worse until i can evacuate it all, it burns like heck to the black spot, please help me someone out there I'm begging, I have insurance Anthem, so it's not like a doctor doesn't get paid I just need someone to help find it and want to think about it and find it.

I have photos of the black spot from last year and the year before even and now it's getting larger then my hand wrapping up under my right butt cheek, the doctors always ask if I fell LOL, it's burning so bad and the pressure and pain is unreal especially 1 hour after I eat. they took my gallbladder out a couple months ago but I hurt up under my right ribs real bad still and in my back there with pressure too, maybe it's gas rising up from the hip area or something I hope it's not liver leaking bile down to my hip causing this, making the pain feel like it's at the bottom more but I really think something is leaking some in my hip like a hernia with a ton of pressure and it's gas rising up, but really I don't know they can't find it and I have no clue either. I tremble a bit too like I'm in a small amount of shock at times, it's really really painful and the sickness you can't believe how tough I've been and fighting this. Please, some good doctors out there with some compassion and common sense, help me please.
