What Causes Severe Pain In The Abdomen While Suffering From Constipation?
I have severe abdominal pain started 9 days ago and has steadily got worse. I d. I doa poo every time I go to the looo suffer from I.B.S. and slow transit constipation. The pain I am suffering at the moment goes to my back. I have taken milk of magnesia and buscapan but neither help I do a poo often when going to the loo and as soon as I have been I feel the need to go again. I feel a bit sick and dizzy and go hot and sweaty every so often. I do take movicol every evening. I stick to a gluten free fodmap diet as far as is possible and get exercise every day. Have been under severe stress all this year.
There are 2 main problems in your case:

Stress is aggravating IBS symptoms. While the symptoms consisting of alternating diarrhea and constipation. In your case constipation is really severe.
Colonoscopy to rule out local damages before determining final conclusions.
Managing stress is the final treatment strategy.
