To look for your best trapped wind treatment

[silvershark22]

To be looking for your best trapped wind treatment. Have woken in agony and can now understand why babies scream.

Good luck op. Hopefully it just turns out to be the worst case of trapped wind ever!! 🤞

I have tried everything and nothing worked 2 co codamel works 9 times out of 10 wish I had known this years ago its an awful pain

Ginger tea, about 4 slices of fresh ginger in a mug, boiling water leave for a few minutes to infuse. Sip

My gall bladder pain was mistaken for "trapped wind" or reflux for many years. Especially if your pain only responds to strong pain killers, consider getting your gall bladder checked out.

Is it wind? Is it diverticulitis, that is painful lower down

I had something similar last week- agonising lower abdominal pain and I could barely walk. Also had a fever. I was a bit worried it was my appendix but decided to try and sleep on it before going to a&e (which in hindsight was right but could have been a very bad decision if I had been wrong).

Was much better in the morning and pain gone by day 3. I still don’t know what it was but I tried the cycling legs, hot bath, hot water bottle, abdominal massage, lying with legs elevated, yoga poses, hip circulating, hot tea and some laxatives for good measure. One of those things worked, no idea which one!

1. Your pain is lower down or 2) gallstones pain is lower down?

If 1) it doesn’t sound like wind

If 2), gallstones pain can be exactly like wind, when you have lots of undigested fat in there, because no bile is getting through.

Squat with your back straight up against a wall.

And bicarb of soda in warm water.

Walking & more walking....

Hopefully you're seen soon. It might not be wind for all this time.

I also swear by hot water. I had this bad the other week and drinking cups of hot water was the only thing that did the trick. Just keep sipping it - as hot as you can stand it.

Peppermint tea, deflatine and fart stretches-

on the floor on your elbows and knees- get your shoulders nice and low (lower than your bum) and rock forwards and backwards and side to side. You’ll feel the air in your tummy start to move towards the exit and then you can… let it out

Whiskey, sugar and hot water, mixed in a small juice glass, sipped. It never fails.

Peppermint cordial is also really good. Peppermint tea isn’t strong enough, I find.

Sounds very similar to what my husband had. He was convinced it was trapped wind but turned out to be a perforated bowel.

Hope OOH doctor helps.

Any update @silvershark22

• prob not back yet?

Sorrytook a long tine to be seen in ooh
They think maybe appendicitis so went home to get things and then to A&E in another town

They have done a urine test and confirmed not an eptoic but am waiting on bloods

A&E is absolutely rammed and wish wasnt having to wait on plastic chairs while hobbeling to the bathroom to vommit.

Bisodol or love hearts sweets work a treat

Bloody hell @silvershark22
That sounds horrific

No wonder you're in pain!

Thanks they have attempted to do a blood test but cant get a vein. Am able to lie down at least as have a trolley on the coridoor. Will get someone else to reattenpt blood tests saie will give pain killers and antisickness when they get iv in.

They'll be able to take blood when they're putting in the IV, hopefully.

Are you on tour own or is there someone with you?

Am glad you have a trolley, albeit in a corridor

They managed to get bloods but no iv another dr is going to try again maybe with an ultrasound.

Am on my own as didnt want to keep others upvoted

Really feel for stqaff so increedibly busy. Lots of distressed older people and people wiondering and fall risks.

I was in in the night a few weeks ago. People were on blankets on the floor
