Because I also have Chron's I may be more worried about digestive woes than usual. Right now it seems to be a paralysis. Pharmacist suggests Fleet's until I can get to see Doctor/Nurse. Oh Boy. :-) Joan, I use a regular enema bag with warm water to soften, because the fleets might cause cramping. When I was in the medical field, I wondered why older people talked so much about their bowels and now I know. My doctor gave me that injection for the paralysis called Relistor. My ex had Chrons and I would be careful about causing the cramping and as you know this happens. Maybe you can ask your doctor if the Relistor would work for you. It is a small TB needle and is easy to use. I would call the Nurse and ask them which option is better, but I take an enema bag with me when I travel as I get constipated. It gets those little turds out of the way to get everything moving. Sorry to be so graphic there but they are fecoliths and things need to get going. Good Luck Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Howdy Y'all, I never did the usual " Hi Group I'm new here " because I found you searching for help in a crisis last week. Suppose I will remember my manners and curtsy one day soon :-) and in the meantime I do appreciate you. So lots of time curled up in a ball this weekend waiting for someone to answer at the clinic phone on Monday at last. Will try to drop a hint about this shot to unblock - thanks for the tip. Sounds like a good idea since part of the cause is probably the darned time-release morphine for the dang back pain. sigh. ...and yet don't you sometimes shake your head at the whole notion of finding ourselves (some of us) taking one drug to undo the effects of another drug and on and on, oh and by the way I wonder how the old kidneys and liver are doing down there. Well that's what I thought about as I swilled miralax cocktails with a stool softener chaser all weekend :-) Hoo Haa. Take care out there, Joan in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
