Does Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Cause Bloating And Nausea?

Hi, my mother is 72.She has scoliosis so constant back pain. She swings between faecal incontinence to constipation. She also had an op 6 months ago to tighten muscles to help with the incontinence. A few days before the op her back suddenly became very painful but not a pain she was used to, she felt it was more around the kidney area, but accepted it as scoliosis. She then was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneuyrism and is being monitored for that.
The change in back pain has continued since.She has complained for 10 days now of constipation and has taken huge amounts of Movicol and sennacot. There has been liquid faeces passed but she feels like there is huge blockage and is complaining of extremely uncomfortable bloating, nausea etc.
After reading a little about about AAA could the back pain and bloating be symptoms of that?

Hi.
Thanks for your query for your Mother. Read the history of multiple problems she is suffering from and tried to correlate all .
The pain in abdomen looks to be due to overdose of Sennacot and Movicol. They are known to cause this sort of pain.
If she is still feeling of block, this can be due to impacted fecoliths which can be seen on ultrasonography and a Soap-Saline enema may solve her problem.

This is probably not due to Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. If it expands there be will far more severe problems than just bloating and nausea.
