I was vacationing in Niagara Falls 3 weeks ago. In the middle of the night I experienced abdominal pain that was the worst pain I've ever felt. I couldn't sit, stand, or lie down. We ended up going to the ER where they did blood tests and xrays. They determined that I needed a laxative. I took the laxative as directed...and though it worked like it should have, I still get little twinges of the same pain. I have a history of constipation which is why I wasn't surprised...but that laxative didn't seem to help the pain. It hasn't been so bad and intense as it was, so I haven't been back to the doctor. But I'm not sure if I should be concerned. I mean, they took xrays, so they could see what was going on. But should I see my family doctor? Could something else be wrong? Also-I was on my period that day. But this pain was NOT cramps. I just started birth control, and by the time I was at the ER I had been on my period for 22 days because I was still adjusting to the pills. Any ideas?
