I had severe lower abdominal/pelvic pain 2 weeks ago that I went to the ER for. They did an x-ray and said I was blocked up, so they gave me a suppository which helped a little, then we went home and did an enema which got rid of everything. But it has been 2 weeks now and I still have pain in my lower abdomen and pelvic area, but it is not bad -- just steady. It feels somewhat like it did leading up to my constipation. I have heard it takes a while for your body to heal after constipation -- like up to 6 weeks before things quit hurting. Does anybody know if this is true, what has been your experience, and do you know how long it will take till I am all better? Also does it make sense that pelvic pain (low pelvic pain, sometimes all the way down) could be related to the constipation? I am a 26-year-old female BTW.
