Hi.
I am in major pain right now. I concluded I have a partial blockage. I started feeling pain in my back 2 days ago, but blamed it on shoveling snow (30+ inches this weekend). Realized I wasn't going to the bathroom much and the pain started to move to the stomach. Started high (near breast bone) and has been moving slowly down. Woke up this morning with majorly sore lower abs. (I had my reversal 4.5 years ago). I have had minor blockages but nothing this painful. I am pooping a little so it's not a total blockage. I've been trying to walk around but the pain is really bad (and I have a high pain tolerance). I have been drinking seltzer (water gives me heartburn!), gatorade, soup to stay hydrated.
Csll into the GI doctor. Was supposed to call back in a few minutes....an hour ago.
I'm exhausted (even though I have kind of been sleeping), I'm cranky, and I'm kind of hungry (that hunger tummy ache) but I'm scared to really eat anything. I've been laying on my left side.
Any other tips? I'm gassy feeling which I guess is kind of good. probably a result of the seltzer...
Help?
