Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 If you avoid mentioning any symptom to your doctors, how do you expect them to help you? Would you go to a financial advisor and say I want to make money, but not how much you have to invest? Don't ever go to an engineer and decide which facts to give them, you will never get the product you want. Experts are there to help you, give them the facts they need to do their jobs.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Aletta, This is a very serious situation. You need to have a doctor chrck you out. The way you describe your symptoms, you probably have an impacted bowl This is a life threatening situation for several reasons. One possibility is that for some reason, your GI tract has stopped working. I have this problem. Please get to a doctor Now! Let us know how you come out.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Aletta, If you feel lumps in the lower adomen you may not be emptying your bladder completely. That happened with my husband Warren, and he was in misery until they cathed him and he had held so much it almost filled the bag. I think you should see a Dr. right away not wait until next Monday. Know that isn't much help but thought I would put it in as info.
