What Causes Severe Pain And Constipation?

Hello, I am a 32 year old woman. I was seeing a chiropractor and I thought he might have fractured my rib. I began to get this pain in my side so I stopped seeing him for awhile. This pain has continued on and off for about a year. Recently I became constipated and was unable to go to the bathroom for about a month. It got to the point where I could not take food in, because I was full of stool. It has been almost 3 weeks now, they have me on exlax to go to the bathroom, however I can t keep anything down, even water/fluids. I have had exrays and a catscan and an ultrasound with no big findings. I do have a small kidney stone that isn t moving so they aren t worried about it. But nothing helps this pain, most days I want to cry from it. Can you help me?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation. I recommend using over the counter laxative such as Miralax.

I also recommend using daily probiotics. I suggest using Buscopan 10 mg three times a day for the pain. I suggest a diet rich in fibres and drinking a lot of liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
