Shelby, I am trying to figure this out,also. I went to e.r. last night, and they did a Ct scan. Report claims that the large and small bowels were normal. But I think not. I cannot even pass loose stool tonight. Lots of noise, and pain/fullness. I do know that sure symptoms of obstruction would be lots of vomiting, pain, abdominal distention- depending where obstruction is, inabiltiy to pass gas or have a bm, you may even have diarrhea. I know that I feel much worse tonight. If I am like this tomorrow, I will either go to our local e.r., or call a surgeon. I even have pains in my back.Tonight I barely passed a bit of wind, and only a drop of clear stuff came out. So I know something is radically wrong. I am so scared. Adhesions don't show up on any tests,either, The only way to be sure is by them cutting you open and looking, which creates even more adhesions. And I think I am nearing that awful route. Millie.

constipation, bloating and gas, pain in the lower abdominal area, and urinary frequency can all be signs of adhesions, even fatigue and headaches (and nausea) but the rest of the items state that you may have a blockage or something else going on. You should be on your way to the doctors office and you should check your temperature to make sure you don't have a fever of any kind. > >
