Need to vent and get some advice!
Me being me, I miscalculated and ran out of Percocet 3 days ago. I've been taking them since my surgery to help with my pain and to slow down my K pouch, what I didn't know is just how much it was helping. On them, I had little to no pain, with little gas. I have been having issues with valve leakage, but I've left the pouch on perm drain until I can see Dr Cohen when he gets back on the 17th from his break, until then I'm screwed, can't even get in to see my family doctor until Thursday. These last three days have been absolute hell, gas and cramps that are out of control, bleeding, horrible nausea and major pain! I've been trying everything, but my usual bag of tricks just aren't working (Imodium, stool thickeners, Tylenol 3, etc...). Anyone experience this, is so, what did you do? I'm stuck right now, can't go to emerg (no doctors knowledgeable with K pouches) and can't yet see my family doctor (who will give me a Px for Percs). Can't go to the Pharmacy, they've recently restricted access to Px pain meds to try to stop drug abuse. I really don't give a care if they think I should stop the Percs (usually take it twice daily, at 3pm, then around 10pm), my gut (what's left of it) obviously needs them still, and no one knows how much pain I'm in, or just how fed up and frustrated I am, will this ever stop??? AGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent, if you have any advice please feel free to share, thanks!
