Help please... 8 weeks post op and new gas pain

[Ah0505 42]

Trying not to freak out but I started having some abdominal cramping a few days ago and it's become pretty painful. I'm pretty sure it's gas pain but of course all the scary thoughts are going thorough my mind.

Had a mild fever last night but also felt stuffy. No fever this morning and don't feel like I'm coming down with anything major.

Before I waste time at doc or ER for dumb gas pain, please tell me what this might be and how to get rid of the pain. I've tried Gas X and it helps a little may be... Haven't been able to have a good poo in a couple if days either so I'm sure that's a contributing factor.

Thanks for talking a girl out of a tree!

the more you walk the better it gets!! also lots of gas X , only you can judge if something is truely wrong, if it gets worse then you may want to see your surgeon, do they have a line where you can call and speak with a nurse? that might relieve some anixety

Sounds like Constipation. A friend of mine literally thought she was dying went to er, just to find out that she was REALLY constipated. She used milk of mag. Took her a few days for things to get regular but she's better now.

Yup! After some X-rays the culprit is a need for a few BMs. Can't believe the pain that can cause, I was preparing for some major issue!
