question: HI i had my appendix out over 3 weeks ago. But since having the operation i can not open my bowels. I have ate different fruits and veg, drank different drink. My doctor has also gave me many different laxatives and stool softeners along with pain killers. I have also had an enema - small amount of water leaked only once. I am now feeling faint most of the day along with the other stuff i am having - extreme cramps/ abdominal pain - headaches - hot flushes - back pain - nausea - acid in throat - struggle to eat after a few mouthfuls - struggle to keep drinking. I am to see my doctor again on Monday afternoon but the pain is increasing and i don t like the faint feeling that has started. Do you have any advice?
