Hey all,
Over the last five days I have had abdominal discomfort/pain. The pain is mainly right sided and is diffuse/poorly localised. There are areas on both sides of the abdomen that are a little tender to the touch. No rebound tenderness is present and the pain is not worsened through coughing or movement (I've ruled out appendicitis based on this and the duration of these symptoms). My bowel is very noisy. It feels like there is a lot of wind/gas there and on the right side it can feel like there is a "pocket" of gas present.
I am still having BM's and I did notice that I was peeing a lot more frequently initally.
I have had one day where I did lose my appetite and I have experienced nausea.
A little background worth mentioning is that in July I was involved in an accident where I ended up with two fractured front teeth (top) and a broken nose. I developed a massive infection of my hard palate and was put on a pretty heroic dose of amoxicillin for a week. I have had a reaction to penicillin/penicillin type antibiotics before and one of my theories is that this is a consequence of the tablets. I also started taking high dose fish oil supplements a few days before the onset of these symptoms.
I know it would be better for me to stop theorising and to go and see a doctor! and I will if these symptoms don't resolve over the next couple of days.
