Hey. This isn't a panic post really, just a little worried about something. The thing is, I very rarely get trapped wind, so when I do, I often get a bit worried and my mind starts working over time and I begin to assume it must be the start of something a little more serious, AKA a SV*.

I'll begin by saying as this post goes on, it does get a little graphic so I'll just apologise in advance! I would try and keep details out but I think they are needed so you know exactly what is going on. It all started yesterday when I was out and I felt like I needed the toilet, but obviously being out, it made it a little awkward to go as where I was there wasn't a loo so I just had to hold it. I was out for a good couple of hours so I began to get really bad cramps at this stage, to the point where I had to go home just so I could use the toilet. I went.. & everything was fine but the cramps where still there, not sharp just like a dull ache/cramp feeling in my lower abdomen and I didn't understand why they were still there as I had already been and was pretty sure there was nothing more left for me to go. ANYWAY, today has been worse. Cramps are a little worse and they've sort of travelled up into what feels like just under both of my ribs. I've been to the toilet a couple of times, thinking maybe I needed to go and i've broken wind a couple of times.. then wiped (i'm really sorry for all this detail) and there was something there.. even though I hadn't been? I've also had such bad chronic wind, constantly breaking wind all day. I'm starting to get a little worried as i've never had trapped wind for this long (at least this is what i'm assuming it is). Could this be the start of something else, like a SV or what? I'm not sure what to make of this and it isn't seeming to be going away in a hurry.
