SERIOUS PAIN TODAY!

This morning when I was getting dressed I got a sharp pain in my stomach.  It felt like someone stabbed me.  I called the DR and Dr Toder is on vaca so I got Dr Clarke (very nice guy)  He asked lots of questions and said not to eat or drink, take some pain meds and he would call me in an hour.  When he called I was feeling a little better.  Not so sharp pain.  He said to call him back in an hour.  I called him in more pain than ever.  He said come right in.  I drove in there in so much pain.  Valet parked and made my way almost doubled over to the waiting room.   I sat down and started to cry a little.  The pain worsened.  Than as suddenly as it came it was gone!  I still went in to see the DR.  He pushed all over my belly and checked everything out.  He asked more questions.  He said I might have had a blockage but he thinks I am constipated.  Told me to take Milk of mag and gasx.  What an experience.  Never felt that kind of intense pain before!!

you know constipation and Gas are probably 50% of the pain we deal with.  after my last 2 fills, i've been constipated.  and as you all know I couldnt' take a stool softner (can't swallow pills) so I said Freg this **** I got some choc. exlax, I hadn't pooped in a week.  well let me tell you, sorry to be gross and overshare, but man, let me tell you,  it was the most wonderful feeling in the world.  I take 1/4 of a dose every other day, not diarea just a WONDERFUL poop.  LIke Dr Oz said a nice "S" poop...  wish you all the luck with your poop.  I eat alot of cheese and probably not getting in all the water I should.  But,  I'm so happy.  good luck

P.S.  it has sugar in it, not recommended for RNY, but was my solution

Oh I am sorry you were in such pain!  But glad that the Dr was right on top of the situation. Never want to let any pain go that you have in that area. I was told to drink no sugar added Apple Juice and it did the trick. Of course, I was not as bad off as you.I didn't have the sharp pain, just uncomfortable.

Glad to hear you are better.  It's always better to be safe than sorry, you did the right thing by getting right in there. 

Glad you got checked out!  Never mess with the abdominal pain!  For sure!  Sorry you had to deal with that and drive yourself in!  YIKES!  Be careful!  Hope you are feeling better!

So sorry you were is so much pain. But am glad you had it checked out. Not something to mess with at all. Hope you feel better real soon.

Thanks!  I am feeling much better tonight.  I am so glad I have all of you gals.  Your support and knowledge keeps me going.  ;)

Glad you had this check out. Gas and constipation- ugh!

Good   Morning

I  take  Benefiber non thickening  powder in my coffee every morning now.  
I also have milk of magnesia  on hand  all the time.   If i dont go  in the morning   i take milk of magnesia   If i have alot of dairy products  that will constipate me  every time.  

Yes it can hurt so much when  we are constipated.  Glad  the docs responded real  fast.  
It is real important   to stay  regular  every day  even with some help.  

take care
