Yes pain radiates to my back..no does not seem to wake me up in fact it is better when I am laying down on my back but is painful to lay on my left side. No vomiting but I do suffer from chronic nausea. Pain is much worse when eating both during and immediately after, but is always there. No black stool. I had been taking tramadol for several months 50 mg. Twice or sometimes three times a day. I decided it was not something I should continue taking so I stopped and threw it away 1 and a half weeks ago as it seemed to aggravate my stomache more. I have hypertension and on benicar 40 mg 1xpd. I also have anxiety issues. It feels like there is something hard pushing in my rib cage. Yes I had ct scan and xray and showed no abnormalities in any organs, only constipation, and diagnosed with colonic spasms.( i find it odd that it is in the upper abdominal and not the lower) which is why I took the citrate magnesium which as I said before made me quite ill, I did vomit shortly after taking it, plus severe lower abdominal cramping..I have given birth twice all natural and would rather give birth 10 times than take citrate again! I took it Friday and still was effected Saturday night. The upper abdominal pain is still there, I wouldn't think I would be still constipated, maybe I am wrong is painful to sit like driving, like there is a rock against the inside of my rib cage! I have had the tif procedure to correct hiatal hernia, do you know what happens to the tags they use to staple the hernia back to the stomach wall? I was diagnosed with small ulcer in 2011 but surgon who did tuf repeated edg in 2013 and said ther wasn't one. I have been also diagnosed as a poor matabolizer..is that maybe why I had such a severe reaction to the citrate? I really was shaky cold and anxiety ridden the next day, heart rate and bp were higher than normal. I do take .5 mg Ativan 1xpd at bedtime. Thank you for your time! I look forward to your reply.

Thank you so much for your answer. So do you think the constipation was caused by the tramadol use and is just coincidental. If so how long should I expect before the effects ware off and my digestive track gets back to normal. Again do you know what happens to the tags they use to staple the herniated parts back to the inside of the stomach during the tif procedure. One last question till I find a dr. That accepts my insurance and get an appointment what can I do in the meantime to alleviate the symptoms? Again thank you for your time! Have a great day!
