Hi. I accidentally swallowed a piece of pork bone at lunch, today. A couple hours later I started having severe lower abdominal pain. It hurts to move and stand up straight and has been ongoing for over 3 hours now. Could this be due to the bone, or is it something different?
Hi. The pain in the abdomen so severe that it increases on movement is suggestive of an intestinal perforation with peritonitis. Stop taking anything orally, rush to the nearest hospital, get admitted getting started on intravenous antibiotics and fluids. Standing X-ray of the abdomen will help to get a diagnosis by showing gas under diaphragm, ultrasonography and other tests will help in diagnosis. X-ray will also locate the bone. You may need an urgent surgery.
