Coffee Grounds in Stool?
Ok, I know this might be TMI but I was constipated from all the pain meds, so I took a laxitive and now I have what looks like coffee grounds in my stool? My doctor had me come in for a CT and Blood work. but get this because its Friday his office closed early and by the time I was done with my tests I went back to his office and they were closed! So I called his on call service and he said it could be intestinal bleeding but he won't get the result until Monday, umm ok now what? And I am running a fever to boot. My left side is killing me and my back my left leg keeps going numb and I am going to lose my mind!

Go to the Emergency Room. Doesn't sound like anything you should wait on. I live in a very small town and things like that take forever to get results back. I wouldn't wait if I were you. Good Luck!

I was going to wait until Dh got home at 6 so he could drive me, They awlays treat me like crap at the ER. I had one nurse tell me to just "deal with it" last time I went in with pain, they didn't do anything for me but put me on an IV and give pain meds, no ultra sound nothing. Doctor did a pelvic thats it, no swabs nothing. I asked for something to take home for pain and she said no.

Now mind you to date I have 4 bottles of Lortab 2 bottles of Tylox 1 of Mepergan one of Meperzine and 8 pills left of Dilaid. If I wanted to do drugs I would do them at home, I just wanted something for the ride home because I was in pain! I cried all the way home, I felt dirty.

I hope this finds you feeling better than you were. Don't forget to tell A&E (as we call them over here) that you have a date for your operation because of the various problems you've been having. That wouldn't be the case if there was nothing wrong with you, so make sure that all the medics you deal with know about it.
In the UK, we have something called a patient liasion service. It's a confidential service to patients who have concerns about the treatment they've received from any branch of the NHS. Do you have anything similar where you are? If so, it might be a good idea to give them a call, because some of the attitudes you've encountered have been less than helpful.
