<human>: hi doctor,my grandpa aged 68 was feeling of a severe contraction throughout the stomach area....as past before 3 months he had done spinal cord operation and had done physiotherapy for 2 months...but for the last two weeks he is suffering from this contraction pain all over the stomach...please help him....
<bot>: HI. This may not be related to the previous operation. What are the there associated symptoms? Is there distension / vomiting/ loose motions or constipation? As the age advances there can be problem of constipation and may be obstruction to the bowels causing this problem. I would advise such patients to go for clinical examination, ultrasonography, standing x-ray abdomen to see if there is obstruction.
