I think all I have is some bad gas…but I just want to be sure. I have never experienced this kind of pain and pressure before. It started last night. I started to feel like I needed to go #2…I was watching a movie so I put it off. then I started feeling worse very quickly. My lower stomach was cramping…like in my uterus area. I had a lot of lower back pain with rectal pressure. So I went to the bathroom and did go #2, but the pain just got worse as I went. The pressure started to turn into sharp pains. I stayed on the toilet thinking I still needed to go…but I didn’t. Eventually I gave up and stumbled to my couch. The pain was really bad. I couldn’t do anything but lay on my couch and squirm. I was sweating and feeling nausea and light headed. I finally felt ok enough that I didn’t think I’d pass out and I got up and took 2 Tylenol. Then I collapsed back on my couch for about 4 hours. It hurt all night long but not as bad as it was. I am still having lower stomach and back pain and rectal pressure. And the pain intensifies when I go to the bathroom. There is no blood or anything like that.

Is that just gas or something worse?

Thanks

My mom is 58 years old, she had colon cancer 8 years ago, she was clear for 7 years and in the last year has had a tumor form in her pelvis and spots on her lungs, both biopsied and results showed the same as her colon cancer. Yesterday she was diagnosed by x-ray of having stomache cancer, no biopsy yet to see if it is the same cancer, but assuming it is what is her chances of survival? She has lost 75 pounds in a year, 25 or more in the last 2 weeks while hospitalized. She has needed a blood transfusion, and went into renal failure 2 weeks ago. (she only has one kidney) She cannot eat solid foods, she will vomit, she has no appetite and is nautious all the time even with anti nausea meds. She is in extreme pain some days. The other night they maxed her out on narcotics, couldnt give her anymore without it being unsafe.
also she has had a colostomy bag for the past year because of the pelvic tumor.
so how bad does this sound and what is her treatment options and chances?
