Hi everyone, just a quick question. I suffer from ileus of Large bowel
and severe adhesions. Went through pain management 4 years ago and was
put on vicodin and neurontin, got off the neurontin 4 months later but
stayed on vicodin and anti depressant. Since my pain was at a managable
level my GP was able to take over. Since then I have had 3 Laporotomys
and the
last one included Intergel in March of 03-02. Had another bowel
obstruction
one month ago and adhesions are back. Ok, I am going back to pain
mngment
because my GP thinks I need better pain management than he can give
me.(because
of the DEA). In the mean time my GP phoned in Vicoprofen in excess of
my Vicodin to take when the Vicodin doesn't work. My pharmacists told
the Doctr
that its doubling up on meds and he wouldn't fill and told me to take
motrin with the vicodin. Just because I go to work everyday and put
make up on I
think my pharmacist judges me. I was so upset. I still have vicodin
left for
two weeks until PM appt. I hope they prescribe something better. SHould
I ask for something in particular?
