This past week I have started having painful bowel movements that seem to be affecting other areas. It has steadily gotten worse over the weekend. I have this constant painful area right above and behind my belly button. The bowel movements are incredibly painful and I can feel intense pain in my uterus, bladder near my incision and my j pouch. I feel this sudden urge to get to the bathroom ASAP! When I get to the bathroom and try to go, my rectal area hurts SO bad when I push even the tiniest amount, and I feel like I'm having to really strain hard to push everything out. It also seems like I'm having the same problem with urinating as well. The urgency is there. I feel like I can't hold it and then I feel like I can't get it out at the same time. No blood. I feel somewhat okay right now because I haven't eaten since 8:00 last night. As long as I don't eat, the painful bowel movements are limited and short lived. But even without the painful bowel movements, I still have the constant nagging pain in my upper abdomen. It hurts the most just above and center to my belly button and it feels swollen or distended or something. It is tender and more painful if I slightly press on that area. Also, random quick sharp pain around the lower part of my left ribcage. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, but I'm wondering if this is something more serious and maybe I should get myself to the ER?
UPDATE!: I just started seeing blood from the rectal area. I've had cuffitis before. But this feels like there's something way more than cuffitis going on. I've never had all of these other symptoms with it before. And this time the canasa isn't helping at all :-(
