Gas, Liquid Anal Discharge, Mucus Discharge, Full Stomach Feeling. Should I Go To ER?
I haven't had a bowel movement in over a week. At first I had a lot of gas and would have almost liquid bowel movement just a little but often. I also had a lot of mucus. Now I'm not having gas and not moving, more like a full stomach feeling. This being Sunday, I cannot see a doctor. I WILL PROBABLY NEED AN EXRAY ANYWAY, SO SHOULD I GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND GET IT NOW. I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN OF 6000 PEOPLE

Hi,
It seems that you might be having absolute constipation.
But as you pass little quantity of stool and no vomiting, there is no any intestinal obstruction so x-ray is not required now.
Take Ofloxacilin, tinidazole medicine as it seems that there is some gastro-intestinal infection.
You may take light laxative.
If there is no improvement then you can go to ER.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
