I'm sitting on the loo in a lot of pain

Not the poo troll, I promise.

I've had stomach pains on and off for 3 days. I keep thinking I need the loo quite desperately and when I get there... nothing.

Obviously I will go to the docs if it continues but any advice?!

Yes get medical advice. This was my symptoms of appendicitis.

KitKat1985 · 26/07/2019 20:43

Have you taken any laxatives? If not, I think that's your first port of call.

Coming onto say appendicitis but see I’ve been beaten to it. Dcs symptoms - appendix - started this way.

I've been to the loo - it was quite diarrhoea-like (sorry). Its across my abdomen

Belly button?

See how it goes in a bit but the runs is a symptom

Lucked · 26/07/2019 20:49

Have you actually been in the the last 3 days or are you constipated? With this heat you could have got a bit dry and that could be the cause.

I agree laxatives if this could be the case otherwise get advise.

Have already posted but my pain with appendicitis was also across my abdomen. Assuming you are in the UK call NHS direct and get an out of hours appointment.

I have been to the loo, just not as many times as I felt like I have wanted to.
The pain is not constant or severe. Will give 111 a call tho.
Thanks all

How are you feeling op?

Hello - thanks for checking up!

So the pain got worse so I phoned 111. I then promptly fell asleep after waiting an hour. Oops.

I slept through and woke.up at 5.30 (cheers DS). I havent had any pain yet today.

My stomach felt very rumbly and bubbly last night. The pain was definitely more cramp like than anything else.
If it continues today I will go to the walk in.

I have IBS and these are my symptoms

Pain with appendicitis comes and goes. Please see a healthcare professional OP, a burst appendix is life threatening.

sazzle27 · 27/07/2019 18:10

To be honest if you were my patient I would be considering a bowel obstruction or blockage..
To feel you need to go and not pass anything/only a bit diarrhoea-like sounds similar to overflow..

I'd definitely be looking for advice from 11 out of hours gp
