@ivycos I had bad constipation after a spine surgery last year. So I had a colonoscopy to check for blockage. No blockage. Constipation returned. I started drinking hot water with a slice of fresh ginger every night and every morning. Sometimes, I add lemon juice or rind too. Hoping that helps you too.

@ivycos - sounds awful to have severe problems with abdominal pain and constipation.
Is it feeling the same way so far today? Have you been able to secure an appointment with a colorectal doctor? If so, how soon can the doctor see you?
