Just come out of hospital after a cartelidge repair on my knee.The op
went well and recovery was quick but what I hadn't prepared myself for
was the how the painkillers would affect me. I was on Co codamyl and
Tremadol. I know codiene can cause constipation but having no large
bowel that wouldn't be a problem.......How wrong can you be!!!!???
My small intestine went to sleep.........nothing passing through .It
had all the symptoms of a severe blockage but with no cramps. Don't
you just love projectile vomiting??? I thought I'd pass this on , this
ostomy thing is a never ending learning curve. We have to remember many
GP's out there are new to it so the more we know the better.
Apart from feeling completely washed out I'm on the road to recovery!!
