Question: My husband had sudden pain in his lower right side, shortly afterwards he tried to go to the bathroom. He passed some bowel movement, sweated enough to take a shower afterwards. Then he got chills and went to bed to get warm. Off and on for the next 1-2 hours he did have some bowel movements, the pain went away and he slept off and on through the night. He is still not feeling well, no pain though feels he could be getting warm again. No fever during this episode. He did have surgery Dec 1 for tear in rotator cufft and bisep. Takes Oxycodone-Acetaminophen 5-325 at night and possibly once during day since the surgery. Should he eat soft food, more or less fiber to see how this goes? He does not go regularly every day - his normal routine and has not had such problem before now. We both ate salad w/eggs, strips of ham & turkey, etc. for lunch with poppyseed dressing. I ate everything he did and did not have a problem. I have diverticulitis and have to eat a lot of fiber but watch how I get it. I did not have any problems so far.He is to start physical therapy this afternoon for his shoulder/left arm. Will this have any affect on this other physical episode?
