Question: I have been constipated for the past 3 days. I have been eating but hardly anything comes out, now I have pain.?
I have been constipated for the past 3 days. I have been eating but hardly anything comes out, now I have really bad pain in my left side under my ribs (Large intestine area). It feels like there is a soft ball under there. The pain is getting worse by the hour. Its hard to move without causing it to hurt even more. I am not vomiting, no fever either. However I am currently taking amoxicillin for bronchitis, so if I had an infection starting the antibiotic could be helping that. Do you think I could have a blocked intestine.? What do you think is wrong and should I go to the emergency now or wait to see my primary doctor.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I work at a hospital so i can tell you that we cant do much for your constipation. For my occasional irregularity, I went to the pharmacy and bought some laxitives.
take two with 2 glasses of water and it softens things up so you can go easy in about 6 hours
I also bought some Fibersure, you should look into it. it's amazing. tasteless and odorless, you just mix it into anything and it gives it fiber. I add it to my scrambled eggs or orange juice ora anything !Health Question & Answer

I think you should go to the ER to get checked out. I had chronic constipation before this and REALLY had problems not going. But my body would fight against the bowel movements in spasms even if I felt that I had to go. I was on a pain medication, and they are notorious for causing constipation. (anti-biotics can sometimes too). Health Question & Answer
The ball you are feeling is stool. I have had chronic constipation for years, the only thing that helps is a glass of warm water, two table spoons of olive oil, and lemon. Drink this, then walk fast around your house...you should have a bowel movemet in several minutes to an hour....good luck!!!! also it helps to make this "drink" everyday...it will soften the stools.
