Hey all I'm having alot of cramping pain around my belly button area I do usually get pain around this area anyway .
I've actually been quite bad the last week or 2 not being able to keep food down because it really hurts then I had bad diarrhoea which is also normal for me but since I'm on opiate painkillers it had eased a bit until this week .
I took my painkillers etc yesterday an now I can't go at all which I think I caused by taking my pills an blocking myself up , but it's been soooo painful today I've had to take them again , I know I needed to lay off them to go to the loo properly but the pain was unbearable making me want to throw up !
This has happened before and I threw up green foul tasting stuff that made me not able to breath properly .
I know I have a stricture so I'm thinking it's all sticking there , I can't leave off the painkillers becoz it's agony an nothing else works to stop the pain .
Any tips on how to resolve it at home ?
I haven't eaten anything properly for a couple of days and was pretty empty so it's only a small ish amount that's stuck ( if that's what it is )
Also if it gets worse when should I go to the hospital, when I can no longer take the pain or what ?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
