What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain After Undergoing Radiation And Chemotherapy?

I m a 35 yo, white female with history of Crohn s disease and SCCHN. I m currently undergoing radiation 5x a week and chemo 1x a week. This evening I started having SEVERE pain in my upper left abdomen, right under my ribcage. I ve taken morphine and percocet and neither have helped. I don t think it s a bowel obstruction because I ve had a BM just a few minutes ago, and it did not relieve the pain AT ALL. My pain level is at least 7...though my perception of pain is skewed since I ve been through so much.
