Severe Cramps

[seuss410]

After going to the bathroom, number 2.  I was having severe cramps could not stand up straight.  It was very painful so I laid down and it was like a stabbing pain on my left side.  I tend to get constipated.   Can severe cramps be associated with the flu? I have a fibroid on my uterus and cyst on my cervix.  I am not sure if that has anything to do with it.  The pain is still on the left side but has subsided a lot.

May be constipation or just trapped gas.  Maybe try some Gas-X after meals.
Not the same as your situation but if that continues, you may want to check with your doctor.  Years ago I had an ovarian cyst rupture and had severe rectal spasms. Not sure if your issues might be causing the pain

Take magnesium citrate every morning.  Add Metamucil pills (5) with a big glass of water.  If this is not effective, switch to Miralax powder in water.  Eat an apple or pear every day and chew thoroughly.  Glycerin suppositories can get things started.  Use a probiotic every day.  Glutamine powder assists digestion.  Sometimes improving blood flow is needed.  L-arginine and maca can help.

Sounds like you may still be constipated or perhaps have a partial blockage?
Have you tried a stool softener? If you keep getting pains on left side, which is where your colon is, and you are unable to go and cant pass gas, go to ER right away. Just suggesting this from experience. Best wishes.
