massive stomach pain
Ow!! I do not go to doctor's or hospitals easily AT ALL. Yesterday while working I started getting "crampy", then had increasing pain dead centre (felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach - not a sharp pain, but an achy, take your breath away pain). I ended up going to the hospital...pain began subsiding after about 45mins. The doctor "suspected" an internal hernia?? But, given how my bowels feel today, I think it might have been some sort of a blockage or impaction higher up??
Anyone have any knowledge or experiences with this stuff??? I know no one is a doctor, but wondered if anyone else has had anything similar. I have had ongoing impaction/constipation since the surgery, but it had actually been getting better and better in the last couple months - without having to use any "teas" or anything. I did go off plan for a couple of days and had increased sugar/carbs prior to this occurrence and thought that there might be some connection??
I don't know....but I hope that this NEVER happens again, it was awful! The doctor at emerg tried to contact one of the bariatric surgeons in Toronto (I don't live in Toronto), but, of course, got no reply...
is yours all gone now? That particular pain went away, but I haven't felt "right" since....have gone to the bathroom a few times but nothing unusual (for me). I do periodically get mild pain in the exact same place - lower/side left of my abdomen...my mom thinks it's the small bowel area?
Anyway, ya, I feel like this was pretty weird, and I don't really know what it was.
