Help- really strange pains



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I have been having these pains since Weds., about 6 days now. I've been hoping it's just gas or a new kind of period cramps or something, but 6 days of this seems like a long time. On a scale from 1-10, this is a 9 on the pain scale. It feels like realllly bad gas pains, almost like labor. I get it in the lower left, and right abdomen, and it's also vaginal and rectal. Weird, I know. It's like being stabbed! Also, it's never in more than one spot at a time. It isn't consistent. Sometimes it is there for a few hours, sometimes it's just one stabbing pain for 5 seconds. Has anyone experienced this? I am almost 4 weeks post-op. If it's still bothering me tomorrow, I'm going to go in to the doctor.

Also bowel movements have been difficult.

try taking benefiber on a regular basis. I would get those pains at times too, and realized I hadn't had a bowel movement for several days.

Once I started taking the benefiber in with my hot liquid in the mornings (about 2-3 wks ago) I've noticed a big improvement.

I think you need to go to the doctor as soon as possible, if your pains are that bad.

Get it checked out - please. I had intermittent (very intermittent) bowel cramping that felt exactly like labour from just after I was banded. I had no other symptoms, just occasionally (like maybe once every six months) , when having a BM this cramping would start and I'd be on the toilet for hours, cold sweats and sometimes vomiting, it was that bad. Just like labour or really bad diarrhoea. Skip forward a few years and I started having frequency and clusters of BM's and a feeling like I wasnt finished, also the very occasional cramping. I got it checked out finally and I had rectal cancer, a huge tumour.

Your symptoms DONT sound like mine, so I wouldnt be alarmed but I also wouldnt leave it. I could have checked this out five years ago - well I did talk to the doctor but we decided that as endometriosis is in my family, that's probably what it was. Would have been a simple operation, take out the small polyp and be done with it, instead I've lost my rectum, have an ileostomy, am having chemo etc. It just isnt worth leaving any problem unchecked.

I do hope you go have it checked out with a Dr. ASAP. It could just be hemorhoids. I have had some of the pain you talk about with hemorhoids, but you really can't go by what people tell you about here. You really need to have a Dr. check it out.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
