I started to get a tingling sensation in the upper-right abdomen about two months ago. An x-ray month ago revealed moderate faecal loading, and I was prescrbed Movicol 8x sachets a day for three days.

The tingling sensation was perhaps a little reduced. Last week I had a CT scan which showed moderate faecal loading of the proximal colon and mild faecal loading of the remaining colon and rectum. I have once again been prescribed the Movicol 8x sachets a day for three days.

Has anyone had anything similar? I have no constipation symptoms: only the tingling. I've always had a high fibre diet too.

IFFM is fast approaching and with 134 titles it's hard to know what to see.

Some Indian films I've enjoyed in the past are Piku, Dhanak, Newton, Hindi Medium, The Lunchbox, Village Rockstars and The Storyteller.

Here is the list:

I went to the GP because of an intermittent pins-and-needles sensation in the upper-right abdomen, which I assumed was muscular.

I had no constipation symptoms but the GP sent me to get an abdominal x-ray. The report showed "moderate fecal loading", so the GP prescribed the laxative Movicol (same brand as his notebook).

As prescribed, I took eight sachets per day for three days. I did poop a lot on the first day, with much less on the second and third days.

The pins-and-needles sensation remains.

I gather that x-rays are not a very accurate way of detecting constipation?

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I have another GP appointment next week and physiotherapy, which I think will resolve the abdominal issue. Fortunately it's all $0 for me, but I wonder how much money is wasted on x-rays for these issues.

I've tried several different kinds of gloves to protect my hands on frosty mornings, and I've found that heated gloves are the only effective ones.

However, the ones I bought were cheap gloves from eBay and didn't last very long. They were also bulky, and ideally I want gloves that I use work in at my horticulture job, as well as cycling.

Do you have any recommendations for gloves that prevent pain in the fingers when cycling in very cold weather, preferably slim and durable enough to use for horticulture tasks as well?

Thanks.

Hello,

I was listening to an interview with Korean-American filmmaker Celine Song, in which she mentioned that, in Buddhism, one has to visit a temple every day for month to receive a wooden prayer bead.

Do you know which form/s of Buddhism to which she's referring? I hadn't heard about this before.

Thanks

I've only just come across the ocarina, but I quickly realised I prefer the sound of the bass ones.

How would the STL 6 HOLE BASS OCARINA IN C MAJOR be for a beginner?

The song I most want to play is The Path of the Wind by Joe Hisaishi.

I also came across this one:
