Are you pooping normally? If not, go to the ER now.

My mother had pains that sound like yours & the doctor (not her usual one) blew her off & scheduled an ultrasound sound first a week later. My sister-in-law took her from the clinic to the ER. As luck would have it her primary had hospital duty that week & was not happy when he saw her condition.

Turned out she has a major obstruction. She was in surgery by 7 pm and, per thr surgeon, it was in the nick of time.
