help,please

1 minute read time.

i dont usually write blogs like this and i am almost always good at looking on the bright side and cheeping the chin up,but since last Tuesday when this pains started ive had enough.

Ive been to my gp,transplant people,surgeon who did my op,cancer nurse,and had a chat with a general surgeon and the best thing they con come up with for me with this  pain is that maybe ive had my bowel or colon stretched during surgery,or a tiny bit had stick to my wounds and with a bit constipation from all the pain killers ive been taking recently im just bunged up.Shit,thats not true,ive been to the loo twice in the last couple days,(too much info??) ive been trying to do gentle activities,ive taken warm baths and had hot water bottles stuck to my side since the weekend.Ive asked if its an ectopic pregnancy,not had a test done but told unlikely,ive ask about IBS,Crhons disease and ulcers but they said they cant tell as the ct scan i had done on friday the contrast didnt work and the arent keen to do anymore just now because of radiation.

Transplant dont want to see me till next appointment as no problems with kidney function,surgeon said it wasnt really his problem and if im still feeling the same next bloody week to get back intouch and they would re assess,i feel like im going mad,that they think its all in my head,it isnt im in constant pain that cam on two weeks after surgery but no one knows why.Ideas please??

I am now grumpy,tearful and have hardly left the house or the sofa for days,im off all other pain relief appart from paracetomol and had quite honestly thought about going to my gp and not moving till they do something.

    thanks,im going to go back to my gp in the morning if things dont improve overnight and im not leaving till i get some help,i dont want more pain relief i want to know why im in so much pain,even if it is something silly.

  • could it be something as simple as adhesions given the surgery you have had?

    I had a lot of pain from mine, also post surgery and after stopping the morphine I found liquid paracetamol the best pain killer, better than tramadol thats bl88dy evil stuff.

    Good luck and hope you get sorted.

    Hi Leigh,

    Only just caught up with your blog - you poor thing, hope you are feeling a bit better. Do make sure you make a lot of noise about the pain - and don't feel the need to be heroic about it. There is no reason you should be in terrible pain when there are so many options available to you to get rid of it. A was in a lot of pain post op from all the bruising and tried to be stoic but it meant he didn't sleep at night and it was generally a bit crap - once he talked through it with the doctors they changed his meds and he felt like a new person. Hang in there my lovely. We're thinking of you. Hugs T xx
