Worried about my friend....

by S729, Dec 27, 2007 11:29AM
I'm worried about my friend.  She's having a very sharp pain on the right side of her belly and it's radiating down to her leg.  We've taken a pregnancy test, but that showed up negative.  She's also been feeling very tired & has been constipated.

Any ideas on what we should look for?

Thanks!!!!

This may be a gastro intestinal issue. She should speak with a doctor.

That said, I resort to a remedy on occasion (gut aches/constipation): Just before I turn out the lights I drink a full dose of Phillips Milk of Magnesia (4 TBS) and drink a full cup of water right afterwards. Go to bed. She may be visiting the bathroom the following morning-so if she tries this-be aware. lol
It gets everything moving out there. That said, this shouldn't become a frequent practice. Too, be sure the Magnesium will not interfere with any medications that she may be taking.

If this persists by all means, contact a doctor.

Meant to say, a full (tall) glass of water.
