Now getting flashes of sharp pain
Left side. Have a teleheath appmnt Tuesday afternoon. Xrays were normal. I'm beside myself with this. An xray would have shown a tumor? No gas they could see. This has been over a month. Cutting back on dairy. Still hurts.
Sitting here thinking I'll have to go to ER if the pain keeps going. So tired. Stomach not gurgling as much, but I took gasx.
What the fuck is this, is it life threatening, and will they find out what it is? The normal xrays confounded me. Thanks for reading.

What a relief that they found and removed a
ruptured sigmoid.
It's not fun and it's not easy but I am relieved.

Flummoxed

(3,329 posts)It's so sad that I caused my own problem.
My addiction to mixed nuts became totally obsessive.
Before that it was cheese puffs, which I now realize
turn into intestinal concrete.
I'm trying to improve it. Soy yogurt. Salmon. Lots of water

Everything in the upper and lower
was allowed to rest and heal.
Changing this bag three times a day
is a pain in the.. oh wait, I don't have that anymore.
Gulp.

Good hospital and nurses and surgeon.
I'm a firm believer in, I'm OK you're Ok.
