Posted over 1 year ago Hi -
I was told by the dentish the porcelin and metal Crown would 'pass' in the next 12 hours or so. It's been 5 days. No bowel movements at all - and when i bend down to tie my shoes, etc bile goes into my mouth. Like nothing's going in the correct direction for me or something. I took 3 stimulus-type oral meds to help the going process, and then could hear loud sounds but now? I hear nothing. I feel nothing. I keep drinking al;ot and eating to force things along - fiber pills. Nothing. i called the nearest er and both Nurses - One pawned me off to the other - Laughed and said it'll pass. Well what if Nothing is passing? and the bile that's in my mouth like it;'s running backwards - if that's even possible. Whats the Worse Thing that could happen swalling a Crown (was from a large molar) ? Could it make perastalsis just Stop? I'm scared to even try an enema - I've been eating normally these past 5 days. So WHEN SHOULD I Worry then? When would even These People think there might be something really wrong and I should go in? thanks. |
