generally, i go abt 2-3 times a day. but last week i held my stool when i had to go. cuz itd always be in wrong time like when i was in class, lab, etc.even if i had already sh** first thing in the morning. so id hold it even if i had to really bad then itd seem to just go away and then id eat my lunch/dinner whatever and id go the next day. same thing would happen next day. i did this for about 3-4 days. n now all of a sudden since yesterday, there's a pain in my lower left stomach. im sure it was gradual but i feel this heavyness and pinching pain. gets really heavy when i eat my meals. im thinking of gettin laxative of sort to flush out the whole thing but figured id come here first. any ideas anybody? i dont have insurance and kinda tight on $$. so id be really grateful if u guys had any cheap suggestions, home remedies,drugstore, over the counter type of way out. thank you !
