Sounds like : Constipation. I would recommend MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) 4 capfuls in 20 oz water twice a day for three days with dulcolax suppository in rectum twice a day for one day. If pain increases or you do not pass stool seek immediate care.

Try to move your : Bowels or stools daily. Constipation and gas formation can definitely contribute to your symptom. Otc laxatives and/ or stool softeners and drinking lots of water with prune juice should help.See a GI dr if symptoms are persistent or worsening and get checked for colon pathology.
