I am currently on oxycontin for my pain for my adhesions and have been
on it for about a year now, the problem is that 40 mg is no longer
controling the pain and my doctor put me on 40 mg am and 80 pm, but the
80 is making me very sick, I am taking medicine for it but it makes me
really sleepy. The pain from the adhesions is also getting worse. I
would like to get a second opinion from another doctor, I live in NC but
would be willing to travel can anyone suggest a good doctor to see. The
adhesions are partialy obstructing my bowls and have attached themselves
to my kidneys, I am going down hill fast. I am throwing up a lot, very
weak and some days can not get out of bed. The pain in my lower back
keeps me up and down all night long even after taking sleeping pills. I
slowly feel like the old me is leaving and this tired sick old person
has taken over my body. I have no quality of life and pain medication
seems no longer to be the answer. I have had 5 surgeries in the past 4
years and in and out of the hospital for being impacted and to try and
get my pain under control. i have a 3 years old son that I stay home
with and am almost at the point where I am no longer able to take care
of him. Please if you have been to a doctor that really knows what he
is doing and knows about adhesions and he has helped you please either
post here or email me. I am hitting that desperate place.
