Brief Answer:
primary guidelines given, need further details as below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

* As whole stomach is painful, additional evaluation is necessary to rule out
associated conditions with muscle spasm.

Kindly provide me further details so that I can answer your query completely.

1. Pain - type, frequency, radiation if anywhere, duration, progress since
beginning.
2. Associated nausea, vomiting, altered bowel habits if any.
3. History of any sort of injury ?

Till the time you revert back, following will give you primary relief :

- Local application of ice pack over the sore area.
- Intake of Aleve or other analgesic with antacid ( as ranitidine or else ) after
meals.

Awaiting for your response.
Wish you fine recovery.

Yesterday I had a severe bowel movement..pushing and used a lubricated
bullet waited and still difflcult .I then went thru this process again and then I
suceeded. Very sore as I have hemorage that does bleed. Perhaps that was
the start [beginning] of the strain, am I right? I also have "the falling back-wards very frequently.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

As the issue was pertaining to bowel movement disturbances, I think a stomach upset is more likely underlying cause.

Recommendations at present

- Drink more liquids to maintain hydration.
- Prefer high fiber diet with more of organic fresh fruits.
- Frequent backward falling require an evaluation with a neuro physician.
- Keep your blood sugar, BP under control.

Thank you.
Take care.
