Help!!!!! The abdo pain is STILL here, despite 2 Buscopan tabs. Time to stuff myself with charcoal. Still with intermittent diarrhoea, which has no form whatsoever - just splatter. The pains are more like cramps (Yx had a field day taking videos of me in lithotomy position, faking labour) and come on whenever I contract the abdominal muscles or take food. Lasts for 5-10 seconds, with variable baseline rest time from 10 minutes to a couple of hours. No radiation, just cramps cramps and more cramps. No fever, but had an afternoon of chills and malaise.
On examination, there's tenderness in the suprapubic area and no rebound tenderness. Bowel sounds slightly reduced, no tinkling sounds, and unremarkable otherwise.
Words like appendicitis, pancreatitis, volvulus and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms keep flitting through my head.
