How Can Pain And Swelling On The Left Side Of The Body Be Treated?

I feel like my whole stomach will explode I've had narrow stool for a month and now nothing comes out and my whole left side feels heavy and painful. I have been having pain and swelling on my left side of my body for 2 years now. I have ended up in the er 3 times because of consistent pain in my chest area near heart and also towards the back, also between ribs 3 and 4, now I can't go to the bathroom at all and I'm worried my stomach will explode. My anal passage is swollen and tight and burning a little. Colonoscopy 6 months earlier came out good, heart tests come out good, blood work came out good but I feel like I should be in the ER. I'm in pain 24/7 haven't had sex in over a year as it's too painful. Recent xrays show neck, upper and lower back spinal issues (degradation) Dr said I am put together like a Jenga doll. My biggest concern now is that my stomach could explode. What do I do? I'm 44 years oil Eat a healthy diet, salad almost every day no dressings, make most of my own food from scratch, grow our own veggies, drink plenty of water and take vitamins.

Thanks,

Wendy
