Sound Familiar???

So I started having severe gastrointestinal issues a couple years ago. Found out it was due to a prescription I am taking. I started to notice I could feel hard lumps just above my left hip bone when laying down if I don't flex up. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this? It's possible it could just be hardened stool maybe.... Most of my stools are hard balls or hardish clumps

If your stools are hard dry and lumpy it’s definatley constipation , you need to see doc to get it sorted maybe a stool softener to get rid of backlog , either caused by your medication slowing your gut down x

If you are slim, it is possible to feel stool in that area when lying down. In fact when lying on my back early in the morning I can certainly feel stool on the bottom right hand side above my hip.
