Back on Pain Meds
I am feeling guilty tonight. I have been feeling pretty good but then the past few days the pain has gradually gotten worse and worse. I broke down and took oxycodone when I haven't had anything but ibprophen since 2 or 3 days post op. I hate taking narcotic meds, so that says something about how much I am hurting today. Why did this happen??? I am resting, not doing anything really other than going to the bathroom and showering daily. I haven't been pushing myself to do anything really.

Re: Back on Pain Meds
I was just getting ready to post the same question. I have a lot of pain on my right side. Almost feels like pain from the scope hole all the way to where my right ovary used to be. Took a pain pill last night & looks like I'm headed that way again. Been off pain mess since post op day 2. Thinking about calling MD if not better by Monday. Maybe someone more experienced on here will have some advice for us. Hope you feel better soon!

Re: Back on Pain Meds
Thanks, I hope you feel better soon too! Mine is in the abdomen too, My nether regions are sore, but not bad. I keep thinking the pain is in the incision site but then go to rub it and its nowhere near. I keep thinking it might be nerves waking up after the procedure because last week until a few days ago it was pretty numb all over my abdomen.
I hate feeling doped up LOL it has taken me several minutes to type all that, keep having to backspace and retype.

Re: Back on Pain Meds
Pain meds are there for you when you need them. I had stopped taking mine after about a week, but about three weeks later, on one day, i took them again. I think if you don't generally take pain meds, and don't even like to take them even when you know you should,there is little chance of becoming addicted so dont worry about it. There is no reason to suffer unnecessarily.

Re: Back on Pain Meds
OMG! I feel like I am going to puke now! PLEASE don't let me puke. On the bright side, pain is better. But is nausea better than pain?

Back on Pain Meds
I am one day post op from you and have similar sort of pains, but on my left side. Also weird pain in my hips and strange little shooting pains. I am no more experienced, but thought maybe theres comfort in numbers. If a bunch of us have it, maybe its normal?! Hope you feel better!

Re: Back on Pain Meds
Now what do I do? I just puked That was so scary to puke because it was so violent, I peed all over the floor Could that have caused damage??? What else can I do for pain or what can I do so that I don't get nausea after taking the pain meds? Its so strange because I didn't get sick the first few days I was taking it or from the morphine at the hospital.

Re: Back on Pain Meds
Nurse in the hospital made me eat when I took pain meds. Maybe that will help. I'm so sorry!

Re: Back on Pain Meds
I had just eaten dinner when I took it. I thought eating with it would keep me from getting sick. Now that my tummy is empty I do feel better now. Just scared and wanting a little mirror to make sure my parts are still where they are supposed to be.
Edited to say: Actually I took it then ate dinner about 15 minutes later. Is that why because when I took it I had an empty tummy? I didn't feel nauseous until after I ate though.
