Your Thoughts?

I first need to apologize, as I do not have a history or have been diagnosed with crohns or IBD.

I do have quite the complicates history of other medical issues including addison's.

Over the weekend I had a 5 hour episode of excruciating pain. The pain was due to waves of gas pains while I was extremely constipated. I never went to the hospital or seemed medical attention which I now know was wrong and a bad mistake. They were the worst pains I've ever experienced.

Afterwards, I did some research, and I realized I had an obstructed intestine.

Well... It's been 4 days later and absolutely no signs of an infection. However, I am extremely sore in my lower front extremities. It almost feels like I have torn something or something see is wrong. My bm's seem a little different but nothing too drastic and I am eating fine with no other symptoms. Just extreme pain.

My question is... Could an obstructed intestine cause a hernia? If not, what else could it be?

You could have a twist in your intestine. I would go see a doctor about it.

an obstructed intestine is something that needs to be dealt with right away. it's not something to wait on. and it's very easy to tell if you do have an obstruction. a hernia is dealing with a weakening of the lining of the abdomen not anything with the bowels.

I agree with the above. The longer you wait, the more damage you coulld be doing yo your insides.
