1. What pain meds do you find to be most effective? I just recently quit taking Norco and have started with Percocet. My doctor wants me to take only 3 a day. Some days I can do that....other days the pain is too much I need more. I am wondering what might be the most effective med available. I'm concerned about the amount of acetaminophen I'm digesting.
2. My doctor wants to refer me to a pain management clinic. The problem is that it is a 2 1/2 hr. drive away. Traveling is hard for me.....I also suffer from interstitial cystitis of the bladder. Are the clinics helpful? What do they do there? Any info would be appreciated.
I found this website again because of a message posted last year re: belly button area pain. This past week I have been experiencing a new area of pain. My belly button area feels like it does the day after lap. surgery. Now the pain is radiating out toward my hips. It gets worse as the day goes on, worse with eating and eases a bit with a bowel movement. Anyone experiencing this type of pain??
Thanks for listening....sorry to be so lengthy. I'd appreciate any input received. Wishing you all pain free days....
