Yes, any opiates/oids tend to stop me up.I feel for ya Blinkie. MAN I am sorry the pain has increased. Make sure you drink plenty and maybe get some laxatives, prune juice, lots of veggies and fruits. All I remember when I was getting injections behind my legs/behind, and then off that and on to Tylenol 3 with Codeine was that I was so bound up, I could not go for 2 weeks. NEVER wanted to repeat this scenario ever again.
They've been giving me stool softeners in an attempt to mitigate the pluggage, but I haven't felt the need to go yet at all...probably partially because I don't want to use the bed pan and/or let someone else wipe my hairy ass lol
My roomie tells me that they'll not let me go to surgery until I do though.
