Anyone not take pain meds after surgery? (this is a constipation thread)

I've had bowel movements after surgery. I was shocked. It's slowed a bit now but this gas pain sucks.

I too have had the displeasure of having several surgeries and hospital stays. I was not constipated, but experienced just the opposite. However, I was on strong pain meds have neurosurgery and found that they did constipate me quite a bit.

Agreed. I only took mine for a few days after only right before bed. That helped me sleep.< /p>

I was sleeved on Friday and the narcotics made me so nauseous that I am switching to Tylenol in suspension or crushed. I'm not in much pain other than gas pain and walking seems to help more with that than painkillers do.

Tylenol suspension is fine also.

Yeah, making sure they don't give you morphine in your IV because it's routine could be an issue.
