Lower left abdo pain and chronic constipation.

[megs1990]

Hi Everyone, not sure if this is the right group to post in but i am at my whits end.

It all started in March this year, lower left abdo pain that at times has crippled me. I went for a pelvic ultra sound and had bloods done but all was clear apart from some free fluid around my uterus which the doctors weren't concerned with.

End of April and i had started noticing changes to my bowel habits. Not to be too open but i used to be regular, once in the morning and once in the evening, now i am barely going at all. I have been given Fibrogel (not sure how to spell), laxido, senna and ibs relief tablets all to no avail.

If i have gone it has been very small passing's, not painful but are covered in mucus some float and some dont.

I am at my whits end, the doctors have basically given up and said it is just something i will have to adapt to. How can i adapt when i am in so much pain.

The pain has not lessened in any way, i get up and go to work because i have no choice, but how can they do a scan at the beginning then things change (bowels) and not be concerned?

it seems as if they are focused on giving me all the laxatives to try but not on the pain that started before the changes?

I am really unsure what to do. If any of you can shed any light on what i am experiencing i would be so grateful.

If the doctors are not particularly concerned it could be that they see an awful lot similar cases.

This may sound a bit whacky, but if you are in constant pain, you could try seeing a Reiki energy practitioner for a couple of sessions. That brought me some relief when I was climbing up the walls.

You may also like to consider what was going on in your life the 6 months prior to this all starting, and look for clues as to what triggered it.

Hope this helps,

I have this at times with ibs and my doctor put me on amitriptyline and mebeverine I also have laxido.

It doesn't sound like you have been tested for IBS as that is what is sounds like to me. I have had on a few occasions mucus in my stools and also the pain. I have found that soaking around a rounded dessertspoonful of Linseeds in around a 3rd of a mug of water for an hour or more helps me a lot and also seems to keep the pain at bay as well. Some people grind the Linseeds down into a powder, I understand you can buy them like this.

I find that none of the laxatives have worked for me hence using the Linseeds.

Hope you get some relief soon.
