Strange sensation

[Gizmo6]

Hi guys.I've been having some constipation and gas issues. I read massaging the abdomen can be helpful, so I did. When I got around the hip area I felt sharp pains , very uncomfortable , on both sides. It could possibly be gas ? Just thought I'd ask if anyone has felt this type of pain. The massage must of helped I passed a BM the next afternoon without a great deal of effect. Good for me. My tummy still feels gassy, bloated. I also have acid reflux which has been playing up as well. I did the massage again later on. There was less sharp pain but tender on both sides. Any idea 💡

I'm not medically qualified ......but I sometimes get a pain at the top of my hip when I have gas or a bit of constipation. Goes away after a Bm.I find massage and warm shower, exercise and drinking water all help too.

Thank you for replying . The showers ,exercise and water I already do. I will check if any difference after a BM 😊

When you say hip do you mean top of the thigh area or where the hip joint is in the ground?

Right next the bone, think you may call it pelvic bone, as in the ears if you've seen a diagram of the pelvis. So its as you feel your abdomen right in lower corner you can feel a bone.

This post was meant to be ! I get this I’ve got it at the moment & it always has bothered me . It’s in my hip / pelvic bone & I softly massage it or use heat when I’m sat down that relieves it for me as well.l. I’ve diverticulitis as well as IBS . I’ve just had a flare up . This then kicks off my IBS as my gut flora is set off balance with the antibiotics. It can take weeks to calm down . I get this when I’m more constipated .
