Brief Answer:
I need to know the exact location of your pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
Let me recapitalize your case:
- abdominal trapped wind : less likely to have caused by rhubarb. This is giving mild laxative effects but with no bloating or gas.
- with regards to pain you are having on your right side, I need to know more on its exact location: is it in the right lower part of abdomen or only on your right knee? It is very important to understand the location as there are two different pathologies to distinguish: appendicitis/colitis attack or osteoarthritis of the knee joint.
Looking forward to have the requested information.
