Guest guest Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I hope this letter finds you all doing well. I haven't posted in a while, but I keep up on reading the post of others. I am having a problem and so once again I turn to you guys for help. I had surgery (lap) on August 19 since I have lost 70 lbs and feel great with one exception. Since surgery my Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrom has gotten worse. I am having sever pains in my lower abdonmin during ovulation and horrid cramps during my periods. And also, not to get to personal, sex has become so painfull I can't stand it. Before surgery I could take a Lortab 5 and it would fix the pain when it got to sever for Advil. Since the surgery I can't get any relief from the pain. I have spent most of the weekend in bed with a heating pad. I can't go on like this. I understand that due to the size of our new stomach meds tend to loose some effect, so I was wondering if anyone might have any other suggestions. I have tried crushing my husbands Lortab 10, it works for about 15 minutes and then not at all. I have tried liquid pain medicine and it makes me vomit, I guess because of the taste. I am at the end of my rope. The pain is so sever I can't stand it. I am going to call my GYN or my PCP tomorrow, but I am unsure if they will do anything since I had the surgery and the Dr. that did the surgery released me the last time I saw him. So, any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Have any of you had these problems? Did any type of pain meds work? If I can get in with my GYN or PCP what type of pain med should I ask for? My sister said to ask about patches, I have never heard of this. Does anyone know anything about that? Please send replys to my e-mail address weitlauf@.... Thank you all, you guys have always helped my in the past. God Bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
