ALL DAY LONG.WHEN I TAKE A VIKADIN THE PAIN STOPS FOR ABOUT 2 1/S HOURS ONLY TO CONTINUE AGAIN. ALL IN THE STOMACH I ALSO HAVE HAD BACK SURGERY YEARS AGO BUT STILL HAVE BACK PAIN ON OTHER PARTS OF THE BACK THAT WER E NOT OPERATED ON. VIKADIN HELPS BOTH STOMACH AND BACK PAIN
Hi, abdomen is a Pandora's box as said in our surgery books. A vague pain in abdomen especially related to stools do suggest bowel involvement. IBS is a syndrome (unknown diagnosis & unknown cause). A patient is labelled to have IBS only when other diagnosis are ruled out. Please get a Colonoscopy & C.T.Scan of abdomen done to find wheather you have any problem which needs specific treatment either surgery or medicines. Take care. Wish u good health. Dr Pravin Gore. Laproscopic Colon - Rectal Surgeon & Proctologist.
