Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Questions you may as well narrow down before you go in. have answers ready nausea? when, how long after eating or drinking? reflux/heartburn type of things? pain in back? Where exactly? pain is: burn dull thud, like kicked in the pouch like a knife point gorilla is squeezing pouch Bowels work exactly the same? runnier runny but do not feel relief barely work at all degree of pain 0-10 OK, I'm not medical, but have experienced some of the things that are passing through my mind. So, if you can give a really accurate description, hopefully they can test the right thing in the first hour??

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 When I had excruciating stomach pains, both times it turned out to be small bowel problems. You can probably tell the difference between a small bowel obstruction and an ulcer by your ability to eat and drink. If you can eat and drink well, then an ulcer is more likely. If it is a small bowel obstruction, heavy duty pain meds are not likely to help because you will no be able to get them past the obstruction. There is also the possibility of an intermittent SBO where the intestine slips into and out of a crevice in the body. When it is in the crevice, it is obstructed, but when it moves out, it becomes unobstructed. Hope it is an ulcer, because that rarely requires a surgical correction. Good luck!
