New Spent the night in the emergency room
I have been having pains on my left side so the doctor was worried that I had some infected pus there so he sent me to the ER for tests. After an examination, blood tests, and X-Rays they couldn't find anything so they sent me home around midnight. Meanwhile they don't really know what is causing my stomach pains. They think it could be just my system working slowly and constipation, I hope so. In any case I am home again for the day from work.

Watch out for narcotic pain killers, they can cause it.
Metamucil is your friend.

Be warned. If you're cramping from constipation, when everything starts to move, you'll cramp even more. This is necessary.

Cheers,
Ben

New I found that out yesterday
I took percoset for a week, if I had known I probably wouldn't have taken it, the pain wasn't that bad.

[link|http://www.medicinenet.com/Appendicitis/page3.htm|This] page talks about appendicitis and some other problems that mimic it. It doesn't mention much about post-operative recovery.

Do you know the specific antibiotic that you were given? Perhaps doing a search on side-effects of it might be useful.

From the sound of [link|http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=a63jvs%247pu3%40news.cis.okstate.edu&output=gplain|this] post, you should have bacteria back in your gut in just a few days after the antibiotics end. But remember to take medical information on Usenet with a grain of salt.

Maybe something else is going on. :-(

I hope you get it figured out. Best of luck!

Cheers,
Scott.

Life is too short for tears. I recommend flatulence. It appeals to more senses.
