First of all I just joined and a little
bio... Well im a 19 year old female
student, just trying to make ends meat
while getting a degree in nursing so that
I can help people that have questions,
like here!
But I have questions now.. So for my
concerns.
Okay just a bit of background, about a
week ago I had some nasty diarrhea for 12
hours. It was to the extent (not to be
gross) but I could make out undigested
food eaten the day before.
So the next day I had a horrible sharp
pain in my upper left abdomen. The pain
was so bad I started to shake. So I
finally consulted a natural doctor family
friend. (while I know nothing can take
the place of technology, finacially at the
moment a favor is all I can afford.) he
poked around and come to a conclusion that
he thought my descending colon was
contracted and not relaxing. So a heating
pad and relaxation was in order.
Well the next day I still was experiencing
the same pain in the same place, but in
waves. I payed another visit to him a
bit later, and he did some magic and told
me that an enema was needed for my
constipaton.
So long story short, I had a bm and became
more so concerned. The stool was very
narrow, very mucousy, floated, and was
streaked with a small amount of blood.
Since the enema I have become constipated
again and still will get the same random
pains that last only a couple seconds or
mins.
I've become very concerned that this is
not just something I ate... But something
alittle more serious and in need of some
attention. Does anyone have any
suggestions for causes? Ibs? Cancer?
What do I do now? Really any kind of
response will be appreciated. I always
have been generally healthy and try to eat
a well balanced diet. Apparently i'm
getting a bit scared of what I dont know
is causing this.
