>Kelly is so right. No one outside of this world could really ever understand it. This site has kept me sane. Everyone here has provided me with more support than my family and closest friends could only hoe to. HAve you tried Miralax? It's over the counter. i take it 5-6 days a week. It's helped.Everyone says my gallbladder is fine, in site of the fact that I've had adhesion surgery (just 12 days ago)I do have ancreas divisum, which can cause similar pain. I'm just hoping it's all part of the healing and I'm on the mend. I'm way better than I was! Hang in there! >Michelle, no one outside of our world can imagine what it's like to be in so much pain and on top of it struggle to go the bathroom. I can tell you that dulcolax is the stronger of the over the counter laxatives and that enemas have worked for me..even after surgery and no BM for over 5 days. > >Another thought, I recommend to everyone who has serious constipation to check into whether your gallbladder is functioning properly. I had issues with mine well before the pain on the upper right side took over all else. My chiro believes that with all the issues going on it likely made the gallbladder stop functioning properly. Something did..no stones...just a lazy gallbladder. Only a HIDA test will tell you this. Removing the gallbladder made a huge difference even with hernias and looped and stuck up bowel. I just wish I knew about this before living with it for so long. > >Good luck with surgery and make sure to take laxatives immediately when you get home to avoid constip.
