| | | Yes, I found that out today. My hubby just gave me a vicodin. He doesnt want me on that crap. I particulary dont like the way it makes me feel either. Hopefully this helps ease the pain. The LAST thing I need is to become addicted to morphine. I just have so much pain, and Im sooo tired. Right now my stomach is so bloated. I did potty today, good start.
Just incredible what the body puts you through ya know!

| | | Vicodin can cause constipation, too. I usually see a laxative prescribed with narcotics for this reason. This could be contributing to your problem.

| | Saw my Gastro today, having colonoscopy TOMORROW! He put a ASAP on it, ruling out coilitis, and if its not that, than he's certain its adhesions from previous surgery. My intestines keep twisting which is causing the constipation than going, and the pain is coming from my bowels twisting. That means exploratory surgery. Im in so much pain and he told me pain meds wont help at this point.
I start cleansing in a half hour, geezuz this is going to suck!  But at least I'll have answers tomorrow.

| | | I hope that he gave you pain meds even though you may not acheive 100% releif from pain. I'd rather have some pain releif than none at all.
Anyway, I am glad they are taking you in sooner. I was shocked they would wait so long with such intense pain. Good luck, my friend.

| | Its 11 pm way past my bedtime, and on my second round of this nasty stuff. Truly THIS has got to be the worst medical cruel treatment. My bootie is flaming! On top of everything else, my gawd. And no I didnt get any pain meds, Dr says they wouldnt help at this point. I havent eaten in 2 days. Im counting down the time now. In 14 hours I'm pigging out at a buffet!
Thanks for thinking of me guys, one last drink tonight. Ive gotta say if anyone ever wanted to be cruel, this stuff is the way to do it. Ive never tasted something so nasty even flavored drinks, it takes all I have not to vomit. The aftermath is horrible.
