Dave...many of us experience constipation when we take pain meds regularly...Do do do, use Miralax. It works but you have to use it daily!

I've been on pain meds for many years and had trouble with constipation problems that went clear to impactions.

Nothing works like Miralax.

Good luck!

Re: Had My VATS at UM - Just got out of hospital

Thanks ,Actually feeling a little better today. i was on blood thinners in the hospital until yesterday morning, I took a regular aspirin today noe that I am home - hope that was okay - having some bad localized pain in my lower back, almost by the top of my pelvis below the operation site about 6 inches, dont know why.Breathing good today and trying not to take the pain killers unless I really need them, (would like to make a bowel movement), I think the pain killers is constipating me.Should I take aspirin, aleve, or tylonol if I dont want to take the percocet for the pain?Dave> >> > Hello Terre and other I have spoken to on this web site.> > Just got home from the hospital, I have massive pain on my right side> where I got vats, did not expect so much pain.
