Today we talked, he said if it happens one more time he will go, stubborn man!! But if I see any other

Am I missing anything I can check ?? He’s getting cranky as I’m always doing abnormal checks for any mass every thing seems fine other than probably a 4x4 inch area...I have been perplexed and that’s typically usual for me lol

Thanks hun

I'll add my vote for your husband to see the doctor. Keep us posted.


Thanks , husband agreed one more and he will go, unless any other odd thing comes up

Thanks

I know this plays into whether or not some groups of people can afford to see a doctor. Many forgo necessary care.


I hope you and Steve will go, if you haven't already. I am very sorry for all of the extreme emotional and the financial stress this puts on you both.


Thoughts and Prayers ~

Much Love


Thanks! It is true so many things we just don’t go to the doctor for when we really should.

Especially since we were taken to court over a 3+ year old hospital bill when Steve had pneumonia and no job or insurance at all.. yet we don’t qualified for any assistance through them and because we have no children under 18, no one will offer help. My state did not expand Medicaid benefits.

We literally can’t afford to take good care of ourselves medically.

It’s just pure population control when it comes right down to it.

Hugs!!!

I felt like a different person after i pooped the next day. I wasnt even particularly constipated (in terms of hardness or difficulty, pardon the TMI!), it was just taking its time, and there hadnt been much fiber. I drank a lot of tea, which isnt usually my first choice.


Now that i think about it, my mother used to make fried italian greens sandwiches for her hairdresser to relieve his pains from time to time.


That was first thought but he is so regular you could set your watch to it lol
Sorry you had all that suffering

Oh, you know, it could be diverticulitis. Stuff could get caught in pockets. I dont know a lot about it, but ive heard its painful, but passes, but recurs. Maybe dr google can tell you more. It makes me worry about popcorn, as a coworker who ate (burned!) popcorn almost every day got it, but then they say there is no correlation, but idk.

Hernias go in and out, I have an abdominal one that mostly stays in. I had an internal one repaired a few years ago.

He’s not had another episode thankfully. If it were to happen again he agrees to see our doctor right away.

Yes he had a mesh repair.

This likely will just be something I’ll never know what it was.

Thanks ladies for asking

Wow, that's a relief for you. Hopefully, it was just a fluke that has passed.

Glad to hear it is setting.

Not to scare you but my mother had intermittent pain like that and it was a twisted section of the bowel! Fortunately they identified it and she had successful surgery.

I think I would be asking for a colonoscopy or GI specialist referral if I were him.
