The pain meds are putting my bowels to sleep. He said to take it if I have to but try not to because of then needing a laxative which gives me diahrea. Fun times!!

I guess the old sayin is true. Everyone is different and they,recover differently too. I to experience the only being able to sleep in one position and if I stand or walk too much it begins to hurt worse
