Is it kapake by chance? they're that strength of paracetamol/codeine i think n theyre great..I had those the day after my big tummy op(once theyd stopped the morphine)..they can make you awfully constipated though

Tramadol..thats what i couldn't remember..

Hit the nail right on the head there.....just got a new supply of them yesterday. 100 tablets to last me 2 weeks. (If I'm lucky)

I hope youre getting lactulose or something too then! The first time i had them was after the rather painful repair surgery i had after they botched up when Josh was born.. 10 days later i still hadnt been to the loo..but need to very badly if you know what i mean..turns out if you dont take anything with those your muscles can go into spasm n you can't go ! that wouldn't help your belly pain much..

i know far too much about these things for my age

As long as I take something to make me go every couple of days, the doctor says I should be fine.

What I did find though is that when I wasn't taking the pain killers, my "functions" went completely the other way!! You should have seen me running for the loo!

The problem is though, is I think the problem is with my bowel and my gynae.

It definately doesn't sound like appendicitis! i'd seriously prod them them to look into I.B.S ..some s are bloody idiots..

I've had this pain on and off for about 7 years, but it has never ever been this bad.

Sometimes it feels like someone has a knife in my gut...I can't speak, move or breathe when it's there.

Someone in work has nicknamed me Monkey because of the noises I make!

I just want it all over and finished with now. I've been "ill" for about 7 weeks now and it's getting me down. Very down.

I can't take any time of sick from work because my "assistant" is off sick atm because she had a row with her boyfriend....It makes me mad sometimes, it really does.

A row with her boyfriend? seriously? thats not exactly very ill is it!

And they've still not done a proper bowel investigation? after 7 years? basta*ds!

Tell me about it!!!!!


As for them not investigating it, they kept saying it was stress and that it would all settle down eventually. I must admit that it wasn't too bad to begin with

Things like that can n do get worse though in some casess. mines worse than it was but still mild.

A close friend of mines been suffering for a while..some days she can barely eat at all..the y said it was stress, then ibs, but it got worse so theyre now checking her out for inflammatory bowel disease or crohns shes beeen seen pretty quick though.. another friend en through hell for 5 years, lost 5 stone in weight in a bad patch etc before they decided it was ibs and gave her tablets! shes fine now..

I'm a little scared about what they will do to me if they "investigate" this further. Don't fancy going under the knife

I doubt it'd be anything like that..just a camera up yer bum

*clenches buttocks*

i hear they give you a eally good sedative though
