Spasm that won't quit?

Any ideas for a spasm that won't quit? I'm sure that's what it is, in my left side, just below the rib cage. This has been going on for several days. I've managed to have a couple BM's but they are thin, just like they barely made it through the cramped up, kinked up colon. It feels like someone tied my insides in a knot. I've tried everything I know to do and it's not letting up, I'm tired of this! I have librax here (muscle relaxant) but can only take that at night as it makes me too sleepy to take care of the kids, and it does help but the next morning it starts up again! I think I've eliminated any possible trigger foods. I'm ready for it to LET UP already! I've got too much going on to deal with this.

Okay - deep breath (that would probably help, huh?) any ideas? This hurts like heck and kills the appetite just when I'm really trying to add some pounds back on. Very frustrating! Hot bath, etc, has to wait until kids are in bed. Meanwhile I'll keep trying the massage and breathing techniques, and also try to keep busy (easy enough) to keep my mind off it (not easy enough).

oh, I'm coming back and editing this to add that I'm sorry if this belongs in the living room or not, I think of it as being diet related so put it here, anyway!

Take care,
