IBS attack! It was horrible and its something you dont want to talk about. Last night I had an attack that was so bad I was laying on the bathroom floor breaking out in a terrible sweat and writhing in pain. It was like child birth. No lie. I have motility issues. It seems that the nerves in my upper and lower GI do not work very well. This has been going on for 13 years. I have bouts were I have a "poop day" when I just go alot!! But last night was everything all at once!! I found myself laying on the floor most of the time lying perfectly still because of the pain.
I dont know what to think of this attack. It was the worst ever., I thought I was going to pass out and I almost threw up.
I can sympathize, I had a bad bowel day yesterday too…not as severe as yours but lets, say enough to bring tears to my eyes!
Have you been screened for IBD?
Just a thought...perhaps it was appendicitis or a kidney stone. I have dealt with both of those and the pain does resemble childbirth. At least call your doc and if it happens again, consider going to the ER. I hope you feel better today.
I do have IBD and motility issues. I have 2 GI docs. One is a motility specialist and the other is a general GI doc. I dont think it is a kidney stone or or appedicitis because it wasnt in the area most commonly associated with those attacks. It was motility issues again. I will see my GI doc next week and tell him about it and see what he wants to do. @ Louise and Just Me, thank you for your comments and I feel for you too for the pain and issues you have to deal with.
