Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
The pain you feel on left side under breast, according to your description, seems to be related to gas bubble passing through the bowels. Furthermore, as you are reporting constipation, your bowels are moving slowly. Thus, they become distended and might put pressure on the nearby neural plexus, and you feel the pain.
I advise to make some changes in your diet to ease constipation:
- drink more water
- take probiotics to optimize intestinal flora
- start taking laxatives to soften the feces and ease bowel movements (e.g. senna supplements and lactulose)
- if it will take more than 3 days without having bowel movements and the pain is unbearable, you can use anal enema to stimulate bowel movements.
If the symptoms will persist for longer than a couple of weeks, should consult with your physician for further evaluation.
Hope it was of help!
