WHAT DO YOU DO TO PREVENT SEVERE LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN

I HAD MY SURGERY TWO WEEKS AGO. EVERYTHING WAS GOING WELL, UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN ADVISE ME OF WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. FOR TWELVE HOURS I HAD THE WORST PAIN IN MY LOWER ABDOMEN, BELOW MY BELLY BUTTON. THE PAIN RADIATED AROUND MY BACK. THE PAIN WAS SOOO BAD IT MADE ME VOMIT. I COULDN'T SLEEP, GET INTO ANY COMFORTABLE POSITION OR STOP CRYING AND MOANING. I WAS VERY CLOSE TO CALLING 911. I HAD BEEN WALKING A LOT AS INSTRUCTED AND I WAS EATING SMALL SERVINGS OF SOFT FOODS. MY SURGEON, DR MARY MURPHY SAID IT WAS GAS OR CONSTIPATION. MY INTERNIST SAID THIS WAS COMMON, BUT DID NOT SAY WHAT CAUSED IT. I AM BACK ON A CLEAR LIQUID DIET AND AFRAID TO EAT SOLIDS. IF ANYONE ONE HAS HAD THIS SEVERE PAIN AND KNOW HOW TO PREVENT IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY EMAIL IS [email protected]
