Melissa,
Yes, I have this pain also. I have tried everything to make my body go
to the bathroom without any laxatives. I get real bloated, nausiated,
and cramps. I sit on the toilet and try to go but cannot. I then have
to get laxatives and I have to use double of what everyone else uses.
When I am able to go I have very very hard bowels and then soft and
sometimes runny from the laxatives. But I never feel like I have
emptied out all of my colon. Does this happen to you too? I still seem
to be swollen but not as much. I wish we could find something to help -
Good luck - Lynn Creacy
