Blessings and happy 4th to all!

Recently my PCP was trying to determine why my lower abdomen always had a dull ache for the last year. She (externally) poked and prodded that area so much it made my husband wince. Three days later I ended up in the ER with such pain in my abdomen. Of course, nothing was wrong with me. I had been having some constipation problems prior to this event and **GROSS ALERT** every time before I had a BM it hurt the worse.
My pain doctor said later, remember, you respond differently to pain regardless of what instigates it.
Since my constipation bout I have had great success with eating almonds and raisins as a snack every day.
Oh, I have a nickname for RSD - Really **itty Diagnosis.
