At the ER today worst pain ever bm stuck!

I cried waiting in the er 4 hours to be seen after on the toilet for 2 hours and almost passing, out 2 enemas later it was still stuck!!! Got a suppository and a milk/molasses enema, half, bag, went again excrutiating, pain but I got a lot, of it, out, i, think., my, internal hemorrhoids hurt, bad right now and they gave me a cream for them. Back on colace and miralax. They said my x ray showed I was full of **** literally sorry tmi. I was there 12 hours today ate nothing all day and had 2 cups of, tea and some water. They think I am do backed up due to the surgery and percocet pain meds I've been, on and haven't stopped for more than a week since surgery 11 weeks ago. On the, one good side waz 262.4 this morning, before trying bm got home tonight at midnight after going some and was 258.6 I lost 4lbs in poo really???? Feeling a bit better now plan to do colace and miralax daily.

aww that sounds horrible, i can't imagine!! glad you're feeling better tho :)

Wow, 10 weeks of needing narcotic pain medication?  If you were in such pain that you needed such strong medication, no wonder you were backed up!  Are you still on percocets? 

 

How long had it been since you had a bowel movement?  I personally would not wait a week without one!  I eat a serving of prunes each evening to keep everything going the next day. 

 

I imagine that this experience has brought its own lessons.

Yes i had it for surgery. Prescribed again, when i, got, admitted for what they thought was ulcers. Then again last, weekend, for leg pain they think, its a, disc or pinched nerve so, yes, I have, just, been prescribed it a lot.

Btw it was only 2 days since last bowel movement, but when I go its tiny amounts or this happens.

I had one week early out where I thought I was going to die if I didn't 'go'.  Have had issues since; am now on a pill called "Linzess" (prescribed by my gastroenterologist), daily miralax and fiber con.  Go almost daily now. 

My NUT swears by a shot of warm prune juice every evening.  Not sure if it works as I am still pre-op  but this makes me think I may try it!

Soo sorry your in pain.  Hope you get better

I had a very similar and terrible experience right after surgery as well. Did the hospital/enema thing, followed up by more meds at home for a few days after the hospital visit to get it all out! I feel for you!!

Now, if it has been 3 days and no movement, I take Milk Of Magnesia. I don't ever want to go through that again!!!

Be sure to stay on top of it! Good luck!

OMG I was totally in your spot 2 weeks after surgery... I use Sentikot S... I swear by it...If I don't go by the third day now I take one before bed and the next afternoon sometime I go... consider it... the MOM and Miralax didn't work at all for me....

Thank you everyone i plan to keep on top of it! Had diarrhea this morning like involuntary yuck but at least it's coming out that pain is something i NEVER want to experience again. Seriously worse pain of my life! I just wanted them to knock me out at that point.
