pain getting worse and dr wants to move up surgery!

My pain is suddenly worse. I can't sleep through the night and I have to take doculax to pass a bm now. Dr told me to move up surgery but I have certain responsibilities and obligations that I need to do. Surgery isn't until11/19. Motrin 800 isn't touching my pain, so Dr suggests Tylenol pm. I hate medicine. Does anyone have suggestions regarding sleeping and pain management.

I'm sorry I can't suggest anything helpful. Just wanted to stop in and give you great big gentle cyber hugz and send loads of positive thoughts your way.

I have major pain at night as well, not sure near as bad as yours. but I take a nice long hot shower letting it hit lower back, and then use a heating pad on my back for about 30 mins. I dont do meds either and IB was not touching my pain so doc did end up giving me Vicidin lowest mg he could, I take one at night and seems to help. Hope for releif for you and hugs

Thank You! I am not happy to here you are going through the same thing but relieved I am am not alone. I was up from 1-4AM this morning. My abdomin feels as though someone is tearing it apart from the inside out.

I was the same I took Advil pm and when it got worse I took hydrocodone. It helped but more often then not I was up a bit a night. Hope that helps. Just tell your dr you need something stronger.
