intense stomach pain stopping me sleeping any tips

pete43lost_at_sea

4.49am
this pain just started
even burping hurts
laying down is worse pretty intense
sitting its just an ache, might try sleeping in a chair.
think this must be my first blockage
had some loud bag farts an hour ago
I had a steak for dinner two nights ago.
if thats the cause, never again.

will probably take some pain relief but trying to be a hero.

see ya,

I had strong stomache pain
About 1 1/2 months ago I had strong stomach pains for several days on my right side. I talked to the doctor (onc) about it; she thinks it was gas. I have not had any problems since. When in doubt, check it out! Call + talk to someone.

Hey Pete
Sorry you are hurting. I had something similar last month. I was watching TV and got carried away eating some almonds. It almost clogged my ostomy. I woke up at 4am, had to change bag it was leaking, had broken seal. my ostomy was really flat and swollen, I was worried. I massaged around and it slowly moved out. boy sorry for the details. but I can't eat red meat anymore and no fried onion rings, huh! I hope its just gas. you made me laugh..one night my bag was farting away and my husband startled asked. "Was that a cat outside our bedroom window" LOL! I just laughed and said yes.....blessings from Lourdes

thanks, pain down a couple of levels
its seems to come and go with peristalsis I think

spoke with ONC nurses.
they are lovelly,

off I go to hospital.
the pains not that bad now when I sit,
will drive myself, what the hell.

our ambulances want take you to your favourite hospital, they
only do the closest local.

thanks for advice, the fear of hospital and it unblocked
I was so relieved and the pain stopped instantly and then the bag filled.

3 full bags today and no diarrhea. from one extreme to the next.

the onc nurse recommended chewing gum and walking. probably good advice.

was to thinking to clearly this morning.,
