To think this isn’t normal?

[Anothernamechanger21]

3 days ago I had the WORST pain, like trapped wind and arse daggers. Couldn’t even sit on the toilet without crying. Lying on my side and taking painkillers made it calm down a bit but could still feel it.

Since then the pain has subsided to a dull cramp and the occasional arse daggers. It feels like I’m full but I’m still (ahem) going to the toilet so it’s not constipation. I need a wee about every half hour too.

Can’t get hold of my doctors and haven’t been able to for days, don’t really want to bother the hospital, but just a bit stuck. Is it normal? Has anyone else experienced it?

So worried I won’t be able to enjoy Christmas food as I feel like I’m full (and bloated too) but not sure what the best course of action is?!

Appreciate this isn’t a 111 service in AIBU but also don’t know whether it is something I should seek medical help for or hope it goes away on its own?

Thanks

Lay on your side. Put your knees up and have a huge fart. Works for me when I have that kind of pain!

Haha @CrazyCatLover that was me the whole of the other day. No problem with releasing wind it seems

Pharmacist may be able to sell you something that is better than standard Canestan but not need faff of prescription.
Good luck Bladder infections can be agony,

Sounds like a UTI

Kidney stones is also similar symptoms to a UTI. Basically it hurts like fuck until it works its way out.

At the mention of arse daggers - my immediate first thought was maybe it could be an anal fissure. Fucking painful and tricky to heal at times.
