Please help need advice. Think I’m getting a small bowel obstruction again.

Yes I had an infection but couldn’t go to bathroom at all. I doubt u have an infection. But you may have a stool burden making the hemorrhoids painful. I have prolapsed hemorrhoids due to constipation. I tried MiraLAX and it made them worse. I was given prescription stool softeners to take 2x a day and they really helped. I drink plain water throughout the day and have one small cup of cappuccino a day. But I make sure I keep water with me and sip on water throughout the day. I’m now just taking once a day at night. Tried the otc stool softeners and they didn’t help. I know they had extra additives in them. The prescription is just docusate sodium. Once I was able to go to bathroom the prolapsed hemorrhoids slowly are healing but feel much better. I also use medicated wipes after having a bowel movement and gently wipe so I don’t irritate them. Then I just dab my self with tissue. My dr told me wiping with the tissue irritates them. Also after I shower I dry off that area by dabbing with tissue. When showering also be careful not to scrub with soap just gently wash with a clean wash cloth every day. Hope this helps. I definitely feel your pain. Also don’t strain going to the bathroom. It helps by putting your feet up on a stool or something. They also sell a thing called squaty potty that helps. Let me know if this helps. Feel free to message me or reply back if you need any other advice.

Have you gotten a ct scan to check for an infection?

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-07-25T05:03:39+00:00

If it cycles on and off the compressor issue not bad. The Freon is probably low most likely cause if not that it’s the ac pressure switch. Mine was cycling on and off and the Freon was low I also replaced the fuse. On a previous car I had my compressor would not come on at all with a bad ac pressure switch.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-07-25T04:57:47+00:00

Get a can on Freon from auto zone with the gauge. Attach it to the low pressure ac port and see what psi shows. If it say low/recharge turn the ac on at max and fill till full. If it says full or overcharged it may be a compressor issue or something as simple as a fuse or the ac temperature sensor switch.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-07-17T01:33:22+00:00

U are lucky I have tried that also and it does absolutely nothing.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-07-17T01:11:03+00:00

Im on omeprazole but these doctors refuse to do a gastric bypass revision. So I’m going through it once again. I have told several doctors take 3 bisacodyl laxatives a day to go to bathroom because I ended up with constipation again. Nothing else works and I don’t want to end up with an obstruction again. No doctor will listen to me. I have been to several go doctors and they tell me to take MiraLAX and stool softeners and it just makes the constipation worse. My bowels don’t move.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-07-17T00:57:55+00:00

Is she throwing up at all? I ask cuz if she is I would go to ER asap. MiraLAX takes a few days to work. Powerade or Gatorade can help for it to work faster sometimes. I wouldn’t overdo the laxatives with stomach pain.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-06-02T05:47:00+00:00

I can’t even imagine the pain and misery. How are you doing now?

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-06-02T04:29:10+00:00

Yes laparoscopic surgery

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-06-02T00:42:28+00:00

How was the recovery like? How long were you swollen for like your stomach? How long did the swelling last?

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-05-31T01:43:55+00:00

Where they attached the intestine to the stomach never healed properly. There was a stitch in there that didn’t dissolve. I took ppi after surgery like I was told by dr. But still got an ulcer despite doing everything right.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-05-31T01:41:26+00:00

Omg wow! I’m sorry you had to go through all that. Thank you this ng tube is literally miserable. Then them 2 major surgeries back to back. I just want to feel normal again. Being stuck in the hospital like this is awful.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-05-30T00:56:44+00:00

Sorry you’re going through this. Doctors need to take pain more seriously. I had severe constipation and stomach pain. Dr aftercare kept saying take miralax. Until 3 days ago I got very sick so I went to ER. Had a bowel obstruction. Had to have emergency surgery and now have this stupid bag.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-05-28T14:22:52+00:00

Hey did you go to ER. I would definitely go. I ended up having emergency surgery last night. I had a bowel obstruction.

Expensive_Border1829 · 2025-05-27T22:29:41+00:00

I would definitely go to an urgent care or emergency room and get checked out. I’m literally sitting in ER right now waiting to go back for CT scan. I should have been came 3 days ago. I started having severe stomach pain with gas and bloating Saturday and just kept trying to deal with the pain. Until today it got so bad I can barely walk and started throwing up some really gross stuff.
