    Thanks friends I'm so happy to report that I've menaged all day today with only one pill woohooo and I took it in the morning, it is still painful of course especially when I move but but I can handle it, the pressure is present all the time though. I'm sooo glad that I've stop taking Percocet before I peeled my whole skin off with scratching it non stop uggh it was crazy.

    Thanks for that prune advice i'll let my husband to make me some, my tummy feels so big. Ahh ladies I'm so glad that this is behind me now, still looking and exploring how to sleep tonight, not fun.

    Hi Mikela, so pleased you are improving. Those pain killers are the worst for constipating you!

    All the other advice on the prunes and the fiber, the softeners etc is really important, and will get things moving, but drinking lots of water will help more than you can imagine, plus it will rid your system of the leftover anesthetic and drugs.

    All the best......Take it easy and keep improving!

    Hi ladies,

    So my husband made a nest of pillows last night and it felt kind of comfortable at first so I fall asleap, after about two hours I woke up I found myself in extreme pain and couldn't move at all, my husband got me up and I was screaming in pain, it lasted for about one hour. Finding a comfortable position at night os really challenging. When will I be able to sleep again :(

    Mikela,  make sure you tell your doctor about the itchiness from the pain pills. VERY important for them to know it. Once you get an allergy from one, it's very possible you'll have allergic reactions to other drugs too - best to let your care givers know the scoop.

    I'm sorry to read about the pain you are enduring. May that be a think of the past for you soon.
