Since last Monday—so over ten days now—I’ve been dealing with this muscle tightness in my abdomen. I figured it was just related to my recent appendectomy, but an abdominal ultrasound came back completely clear. Then things took a turn on Wednesday; I started feeling nauseous and had this heavy sensation in my stomach. My gastroenterologist didn't think a gastroscopy was necessary yet, and then at the urgent care clinic, the doctor suggested it might just be some kind of stomach virus. He told me if it doesn't clear up, I'll need to go in for a gastroscopy. Things have improved slightly over the last three days, but I still haven't had a bowel movement. I honestly don't know what else to do.
