I've been dealing with alot of pain for the past 9 years, went back to the surgeon once about 5 years ago and he said I have no doubt that you have adhesions everywhere...on your uterus, ovaries, intestines, etc. but "we can't go in and remove any adhesions unless there is an intestinal obstruction". I deal with it with heating pad, norco, and just recently pamoral.
Anyway, so I've been dealing with some serious pain on and off and on a daily basis. The more active I am, the worse I get so I usually try to lay low. But, sometimes I can't help it because I'm an active person by nature. I've been walking regularly the past week for exercise and have been in a lot of pain which is right above my huge scar and the whole lower belly under the belly button. It feels very much like I just recently had a c-section but it also feels like I was socked in the stomach very hard. I usually deal with the severe pain with Norco (vicodin) but what's different this time is I'm having a lot of nausea where I think I'm going to throw up but I don't.
If I eat, it doesn't help. If I don't eat I feel like I have to eat. I'm also having BOTH constipation and diarreaha.
Can anyone offer any advice as to what is going on with the nausea and how you can tell if a partial obstruction is going on or not. I don't want to go to the doctor to be turned around like I'm some hypochondriac. But, yet, I don't want to ignore these symptoms if they are serious. I had to leave early from work 2 days in a row and don't know if I'll make it in tomorrow. My gut hurts so bad. I love my job and I'm the bread winner of the family and CANNOT afford to lose it.
Whoever takes the time to read this, THANK YOU!!!! Any advice is appreciated.
