Thread: I'm not sure where to put this, but please help me

Well, icing my hip helped for a bit, but after a while it stopped working. Maybe I should try Bengay before bed? Maybe my poor posture put something out of joint and it got extra aggravated from all the tennis and walking I did yesterday. I did eat really healthy today though! (*proud*)

My temperature last hour was 97.4, give or take, which is just fine for me. I have not been nauseous.

Maybe Because of all the doritos I ate yesterday as well (and the pizza), somehow the spices on them caused....I don't know, spicy pee? ...That sounds weird, but maybe it's possible. It's just every time I pee it feels like someone lights a match down there.

Again, thank you ItsASecret for helping me all the time. Guess what! I got some blood tests back today and everything is functioning normally (as of July 13!)

All of those serious problems you are thinking about would have you on the ground in pain and you would not be playing tennis, walking around, or likely even sitting here communicating with the forum. Most likely your current diet and possibly lack of exercise has led to intestinal issues. With the fiber try taking miralax aka clear lax or more specifically polypropylene glycol or another a saline laxative. Just fiber by itself will actually increase constipation after it starts. Some probiotics may also be helpful. Avoid stimulant laxatives. Unless used with care they will only lead to more problems. It can take weeks or months of laxatives and fiber to fix your colon and the rest of the digestive tract after an extended period of poor diet or inactive lifestyle.

I was stuck in bed from health issues and when my doctor palpated she found my colon to be bigger around than her forearm. That was 8months ago and I've finally returned things to mostly normal. I was having so much pain I nearly went to the ER a couple times. I saw a gynecologist because orgasms were leading to such severe pain I'd be rolling around in bed with my vision blacking out and lines of pain going down my legs. Lots of things were discussed, tests were run, and in the end all tests were normal so I was sent back to the GI doctor because digestive tract and reproductive pain can get confused with each other or cause each other. While the tests found nothing the laxatives and fasting required for barium tests mostly fixed my digestive tract. I just had to make sure things kept moving with saline laxatives for the next 2 weeks. The mysterious orgasm pain, bloated feeling, and cramps right above each hip and between my ribs just disappeared once my digestive tract was unstuck and my colon came back to the proper size.

The urinary stuff I can't entirely explain though. Have you been taking any vitamin pills lately? B vitamins either by themselves or found in a mulitvitamin will cause bright yellow pee. Otherwise coupled with the pain or burning sensations I'd see a doctor about checking for a urinary tract infection. It's possible it could be entirely unrelated to your other problems.

Aah, thank you, Kira for all that information! I am sorry to hear about your pain, but I am glad that you have gotten better.

I have been eating a lot of fiber, but if that will exacerbate my problems, I don't know what else I can do. I do not have laxatives in the house, but there is Metamucil, so I can get fiber that way. I ate healthy today: A bowl of Kashi cereal, a sandwich made with 20 grain bread, two thin slices of ham and about a teaspoon of mustard, a salad of leafy greens with a little basil vinaigrette dressing, a red plum, a peach, and some peach yoplait light. This isn't all at the same time though of course! lol! I have also been drinking a lot of water.

I'm thinking that perhaps sitting on a metal chair for about an hour at my boyfriend's martial arts school (and then for two hours the next day) last friday and saturday could have assisted the pain in my hip/lower right ab area.

I have been taking one Women's One a Day multivitamin every day (or at least every one or two days). My mother says that she wants to give it a week to see if it clears up, but isn't that a little bit too long?
