I took tylenol 3 and the recommended laxatives (polyethylene glycol) for a week after my surgery and started having normal bowel movements for a couple days. Two weeks after my surgery, I had stomach discomfort and diarrhea, but I thought I might have a stomach flu and waited for it to go away, which it did within 4 days.
My bowel movements have mostly returned to normal, but I now experience almost daily severe bloating. It is most frequent in the mornings and very uncomfortable.
I rushed my 5 yr old son to our family doctor with symtoms of stomach pain so bad he couldn't even walk slight fever after checking him our doctor was certain it was his appendix and sent us to the surgoen. The surgoen tried to convince us that it was food posioning so she admitted him into the hospial for observation over night. They took blood which he had an elevated white blood count they put him on antibiotics. During the night he had severe pain, shakes and a fever.
I recently had surgery because my appendix had ruptured. But even before that i have had this pain in my lower left side of my stomach. I have had tests done and they have found nothing. The pain comes and goes. Usually after i eat something and walk around it gets very painful. I no there is obviously something going on. i just don't understand why they can't find anything. Could you possibly give me some answers?
I had an appendectomy due to a ruptured appendix. My surgery was over 5 years ago. Prior to my appendectomy I was very regular but only had a bowel movement 2-3 times a week. Since my appendectomy by regularity changed to 1-2 times a day and most of the time being diarrhea.
Would like to know if this is unusual, rare or something that should be looked into?

For the last couple days I have been having aching type pain in my stomach along with the right mid/lower part of my abdomen (where my intestines seem to be). I went to my general doctor and he said it might be h plylori infection. He ran a test to check for that. Can stomach pain from h pylori also cause pain in the intestines (which is where the right sided mid/lower pain seems to be)? Also, about a year ago I had colon resection surgery for diverticulitis in my descending colon.
She during her laparoscopies she had no lesions on bowels or diaphragm, everything look good after each procedure. She is continuing to have increased pain with eating taking numerous pain meds to assist with pain which is not working. She is to have another ERCP on May 5th for another block we would appreciate and thoughts you might have on this.

My husband just had a diagnosis of a ruptured appendix on Thursday. The surgeon here says he won't need surgery because there is little to no appendix left. The doctor also says that there may or may not be an abscess so my husband has another CT scan today. That was hours ago and my husbands condition is getting worse. I have told the nurse this twice now and the only comments I get is that she is new to my husband and she does not know where the doctor is.
My concern is he still having low grade fever and lower right quad pain ( increased pain with eating and some activitys) My question is should the appendix be removed due to potential appendicitis in the future due to blockage causing inflam. and infection or can this resolve on it's own. My research shows majority of these stones end up causing appendicitis eventually.
I had my appendix removed. Then the pain was still there. So i had another surgery because i had adhessions from that surgery. So for a full 2 months i was in and out of the hospital with stomach pains. I could not even begin to tell how many times i have been to the ER. Well that was about a year ago. I am now just 19. I STILL have pains. Now they are everyday. It hurts in the morning, during the day, after i eat, at night...ALL the time. I also have a lot of diarhea and constipation.
I have been suffering stomach pain for 8 years now :( . 80% of time when I eat I get this pain and a very swollen stomach. My belly looks like a pregnant lady under my rib cage. I have gone to doctor over and over. The later one asked for a stool sample and found no bacteria in the sample. I always feel nauseous. What could it be? Please help me!
For the last five days I have been having pains in my back, kidneys, right side, right side abdominal pain, pain near my belly button, pelvic pain, pain right next to my hip bone, headaches, and nausea. I'm still able to pass gas, and eat, walk and jump without pain, and when my stomach is pushed on there is no pain. I have been to the doctor multiple times for pains like these, I seem to get them each month.
There is a weird feeling, like pressure/bloating/empty pocket in my the right side of my stomach/abdomen. It is not painful, but it has been going on for about a year now. Sometimes its not there, but most of the time it is. I already had my appendix removed. I have seen 2 doctors and a surgeon. They all tested me for hernia but they all don't know what it is.
Are you oever doing it at all? I am going on week 7 and STILL in pain. You just had major surgery and it takes months to heal. My doctor said I would be fine in 2 weeks. He was WAY off. I still have't been back to work yet. Just relax and let your body heal. If you need to take the pill...take it. I take Ibufrofen 400 or 800mg and it seems to help. Whatever you do....don't go shopping or clean for at least a week or 2.
After a long battle with ovarian cysts, four weeks ago I had one ovary removed, along with my uterus (due to some fibroids). While my doc was doing surgery, my appendix appeared red, inflamed, and had scar tissue surrounding it and therefore, it was also removed, However, later, I was told by the nurse that my appendix came back from the pathology report as "normal.
The surgeon came in yesterday and told my mother that this was a one in a million chance that she would have something like this right after a different surgery. He said the when they removed her appendix, it was not recognizable at all. That is how bad it was. They are keeping her in the hospital for at least a week because secondary infection is going to be a definite and not just a possibility. Now that my mother is there, it seems like they are listening to her.
