Suggest Treatment For Nausea , Lower Abdominal Pain And Back Pain
Sunday evening, I was taken to the ER due to severe pain in R lower abdomen radiating to my back. I also had nausea and vomiting x 2 days. IV started, morphine for pain and med for nausea given. CT w/o and with contrast done showing kidney stone. Approx hour after ct, I started passing gas, went home and woke up Monday morning in a puddle of watery diarrhea. The bowel incontinence continued until late last night. I have never been incontinent before, I am a 50 y/o female in good health otherwise. Was this a reaction to the contrast? The last time I used the restroom it was a fluorescent green color, if that helps, sorry to be graphic.
Hi. Thanks for your query. You are absolutely right . This looks to be a reaction to the oral contrast. Since you have got incintince and diarrhea you may possibly go into complication like dehydration or others like kidney failure you should report immediately to ER, get clinical evaluation, investigations and proper treatment. I hope this answer helps you.
