Stoidi User ID: 77046882 United States 05/20/2020 03:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sometimes when have surgery, scar tissue grows out and “adheres” connects itself to a part of the abdominal wall, or to another part of the bowel. These adhesions can over time cause a twist or pulling aside of the bowel. You can get blocked, twisted, pained by this when different less fibrous bowel content becomes sluggish. Movements can become blocked. The surgeon may open the abdomen and do a “lysis of adhesions”, freeing up the bowel. If the obstruction becomes complete, you may backup and your breath may reflect odors from those partially digested, lower contents. It is a process that can be very uncomfortable. Some pain meds constipate You so that can be a problem. Your doctor is your best advisor, listen to him. Dead bowel can lead to gangrene. |

(OP) User ID: 74619032 United States 05/20/2020 07:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I finally made it home. Boy-howdy, but that was not fun....although I suppose I did have a good time with the staff. They were AWESOME, every last one of them. We had a good amount of laughs. I do feel like I've been rode really hard and put away wet. I'm wiped out....fooking bowel obstructions suck the very biggest donkey kahunas around. So horrible. I found out earlier today from a nurse that there's a whole section of the hospital for Covid patients, and it hasn't been used once. It's been empty this whole time, and this is good.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73443529 United States 05/20/2020 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry honey....Get Well Soom I've been in this place before (BO, hospital, surgery, etc.). Funny thing is, the last time I was in this ER for all this BO crappola, they did not image my chest. Quoting: cosmicgypsy Now, I've had 4 mgs of morphine, and even I know the chest has so little to do with the small intestine. The CAT Scan tech was cool, though. A patriot and boy howdy, he'd make a kickass GLPer. And believe you me, if I wasn't in such dire shape, I never would've come to a hospital. I tried riding the obstruction out, but almost 20 hrs with it wore me out. The pain, the puking....it just got overwhelming. Anyway, if you have to go to the ER, be prepared to have your chest x-rayed, even if it's a broken foot you have. And please be nice, I've had a really rough day. |

Are you getting enough water in your body? It happens to me when I don't drink enough water, which is not often. That's the only reason I've noticed for it. But listen, if you can, go to a doctor and tell them what's going on....that is if drinking water won't help. How's your diet? Do you eat veggies? I would try drinking more water and eating more veggies to see if that clears it up before going to a doc, though....but you don't want to have a problem and have it go as far as having a BO. I had a massive heart attack last year (I'm fine now), and these bowel obstructions are far worse to get through. Seriously, you do not want the experience.
