Hi Cindy,
I know how you feel too, I have had a few drs here that have told me I may have to learn to live with it, I am now frustrated to the fact my bowels do not move without taking a vegetable laxative. The drs told me to take it b/c it is IMPORTANT to keep them moving. Now they say it has caused lazy bowel, and I do not go without it, last night I was busy all weekend so I did not take it, and had severe pain last night, so I took the senekot, and got up today to a glass of prune juice, usuallt that will clean me out!
I have some decent times now that the pain center has put me on another drug, I take trazadone to sleep, also used for chronic pain, darvocet, which does NOTHING for the pain, and the neurotin, which seems to give me more quality time to do the things I need to do at home, so I am alittle happier.
I keep telling my husand no one understands the pain we get from adhesions, and I wish this forum would make it, because I know you all understand!
Toni
