Hi I know that this discussion occurred a long time ago, but it had alot of similarities to my condition, so wanted to post and see what has happened with the people that posted on here. I am a 46 yr old female, nonsmoker, non drinker that was in great health before I had gyne surgery 3 yrs ago that resulted in periotinitis, sepsis and drug resistent C difficile. I have had chronic upper, right side, back and flank pain for 3 years.
