best pain relief
Posted , 9 users are following.
I was diagnosed by ultrasound with multiple gallstones 6mths ago. Decided on referal 3 1/2mths gone and not heard a thing till after a really bad attack last night, I rung hospital today. Apparently they somehow put thier letter to me inside my file instead of sending it to me !. Thats our wonderful NHS for you. anyway I've got appt to see consultant in two weeks and I'm shaking with nerves at the propect of surgery.
Meanwhile I see from some posts that Codeine is not a good analgesic for gallbladder pain. As i have taken Co-codamol with varying effect, can anyone advse what drug is best.
Thank you.

If everything you eat is causing you pain then that's not right and you should explain this to your GP (who can then write to the hospital asking WTF they are playing at). Maybe some strong antibiotics would help (frankly you could have puss and gloop in there,, I think Co-amoxiclav might help). How much weight have you lost anyway? 10s of kg? Rapid weight loss isn't good for you at all :?
What's your pain relief situation? Considered taking more? These prescriptions can be quite conservative. In my time I've taken tons and tons and it hasn't harmed me yet, well to be precise I've had a fair few 'sweaty whiteners' on the opiates but no permanent harm has been caused :D

Yipee. I've finally got an op date, 13th June. Although I'm scared stiff, I know it has to be done. It's not the actual op that terrifys me but something going wrong. Still what will be will be. I just have to have swabs repeated coz my pre op is now out of date.
Wish me luck
