Is this a 'partial' obstruction?

Good morning ladies -
I haven't posted in a while, but I've had some new symptoms and wonder
what this means (this is descriptive, sorry!)...
The last few weeks I've had a pattern appear - 2-3 days of heartburn,
mild nausea, low appetite, bloating, increasing back pain, pain in
ovaries, sharp gas pains and harder to pass BMs. This builds up over a
few days until a day of very painful gas pains and extreme back and
ovary pain (previous hx of adhesions on both ovaries, appendix & sigmoid
colon). Then I'll pass a BM - starts pebbly and then normal. Once this
passes ALL PAIN STOPS, then I just ache. Sometimes followed with urgent
diarrhea, then the bowel pattern gets normal for several days, and then
the cycle starts again.
This has been going on for several weeks now. I drink plenty of water,
and usually eat Bran cereal every day to stay "regulated".
Is this considered a "partial" obstruction or maybe IBS, or maybe just
adhesions being stretched and pulled?
Any advice? Thanks for your help...
