default
Posted on Fri, 18 Dec 2015
Question: I'm afraid I have a bowel obstruction. I was taking tramadol last week for a back injury and had only liquid stool after taking citramag, docusate lax X 2 tabs,miralax, and today a mineral oil enema. I'm very distended and my abdomen has pain around and above my belly button. I also have a low grade fever 37.9 now. Should I go to the ER? I'm embarrassed because I work there.
