You ladies are the only ones I can share stuff like this with... Okay - that's not true, I can tell my Mom anything, not matter how gross... but I'll still share with you - although you may regret reading this...
I starting having some back pain and some pain under my ribs when taking a deep breath - this started Wednesday evening. My back hurt, and I had a hard time getting comfortable in bed! Thursday morning I felt fine - but by Thursday at dinnertime - it was back, and worse! Pain was just radiating to my back! If I hadn't had my gall bladder out already, I would have thought that's what it was! As a side note - my back was really bothering me a week ago - but I attributed it to my DH's really crappy desk chair that I was using when I work (we bought a new ergonomic and comfy desk chair for me this past weekend).
Okay - so I'm paranoid (and maybe a bit of a hypochondriac) so I call the doc, and my doc wasn' there today, but I got in to see a different doc. Long and short - he took an x-ray, and was able to tell right away what the problem is. I have tons of poo stuck in me! Apparently the right side of the intestine that carries the stool (on it's way up - it goes back down on the left side) was extremely full with crap - literally. I don't know what happened - I've been having normal BM's, and no problems in that department! He said I have so much backed up in there, that it's putting pressure on other things, which is causing pain when I take a deep breath, and even causing the pain to radiate to my back.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
So I drank an entire bottle of Magnesium Citrate (carbonated saline laxative) and now I have to just wait for it to take effect - meanwhile, my back is just aching...
Sigh... I apologize if you got this far... Now if my DH ever says I'm full of s&$+ - he's absolutely right, I guess!
As a side note - do you think once I get rid of all this, I'll lose any weight? LOL
