Hello everyone I could use a suggestion of whats wrong with me. I'm always constipated and get sharp anal pains randomly. I had a colonoscopy done and was found to be "healthy". Recently my stomach pains have been worse. I get pains on my side, my back, my chest, I get twitching all over my body. I have been recovering from anxiety for about a year and starting to feel weird again like something is just not right. I wouldnt worry so much but I am constantly in pain somewhere in my body. Doctors have not been a help for me. I also have a low grade fever as of today. Feeling under the weather. Also a few days ago I skipped dinner because when I eat my stomach starts to hurt and I felt so sick. Its like I have to constantly eat or else my stomach growls. Idk what to do with myself

How long ago was it when you had the colonoscopy? Did you tell the dr about the same symptoms that you described in this post? I'm so sorry you are going through this...

It 'could' be that you have IBS-constipation...and there is a separate site for this which I believe is helpful to many....but I know you said you have suffered from anxiety in the past and are feeling 'weird' again... and it sounds like it is triggered by your worry over your physical symptoms...

Have you thought about seeing a different doctor??... I would do that, if I were you... because you deserve some sort of an 'explanation' as to what is causing your symptoms. Good luck to you.

oh dear...well...sounds like you are doing your part in seeing enough doctors! I am well aware of this: (I am NOT criticizing you either! ) but the mind can produce almost ANY symptom... some of which actually 'materialize'...l So it could be that your focus and attention to what is going on, could be creating it. Been there. Done that. So NOT judging you or saying what you are feeling is not 'real'... I'm sure it is... but it still could be psychosomatic... Anyway, good luck to you! :)

As a simple cure for constipation have heard that drinking lots of water may help

Meant to say not a problem for me so don't really know about the water cure and I'm not a medic

Hmm this could be true I was feeling better months prior because I was going once a day. I was drinking lots of water because I was going to the gym on a daily basis. Now I barely drink water. I will change this.

So pleased that you think "water cure" might help Sometimes the old fashioned inexpensive way is best Although not a sufferer I realise must be uncomfortable -painful even. Good luck!
