Can I Take Tramadol For Appendicitis, Peritonitis And A Growth Within Large Intestine?

I had surgery a year ago for what they said was appendicitis, peritonitis, and a growth within my large intestine in that area. A week and a half ago I started feeling pain in my lower right abdomen and got scared of another blockage and went to the doctor the following day. He didn't seemed too concerned for me and ordered up a blood test with everything looking fine. I started taking Ex-lax that day that gave me relief because my belly felt very full and uncomfortable, bloaty, a numbing sensation, etc. I stopped taking it briefly but found I got backed up again quite quickly and taking it seems to be the only way I can actually have a bowel movement, even if it is just running out of me. Today, after diarrhea, I still felt like I could go but couldn't go...I pushed and my anus just seemed to protrude out and feel swollen but nothing else would come out and it felt like when I relaxed it just went back up inside. Side note, I took one Tramadol pill 2 days before all this started to ease neck pain. What could be wrong with me? I'm very concerned about another blockage...

Hi.
There are certain diseases , which have to be investigated immediately.
Yours is one of them.
As this can lead to an emergency anytime and the time spent can cause further avoidable damage.

I would advise you to :::
Undergo Ct abdomen to start with , colonoscopy- sos biopsy.
This is in view of your past history.

You can certainly take tramadol.

Find the cause and get the proper treatment before it is too late.
