Hi Susan

My partner had a bowel resection, she was kept in hospital for 3 weeks afterwards, it seems you are home quite early, she had morphine on a self administered basis. By pressing a button a small dose would be given and it would not give more until a certain time period elapsed. Paracetamol etc gave her no relief from the intense pain. The pain did subside after a four weeks, she suffered withdrawal effects for a week once the morphine was stopped these included intense itching anxiety restless legs disturbed sleep and flu type symptoms. Her stoma was reversed and she now has a fairly "normal" pain free life. There is light at the end of the tunnel but right now you need some help to get there. Get straight onto your medical team, GP or emergency services and tell them you are in severe pain, you have to make a fuss about this or you will be fobbed off. No one should need to suffer  in the 21st century. Hope you can get sorted out soon. Best wishes

Thankyou  for  replying  to  me, it  makes  me feel  so much  better knowing  that  other people  felt the  same  as  I  do  now  and  that  there is  light  at the  end  of  the  tunnel, my  hubby  wasnt  very happy  when  they  let  me  home  but  I  was  doing  so  well  and  never  expected  to  be  in  so  much  pain,  anyways  I  took  a  tramadol  and  2  paracetamol   last  night  and  eventualy  got  about  6  hours  sleep (whoop) so  today  I  know  I  will be  able  to  cope  better, Thankyou  again  and  I  hope  your  partner  continues  to  have  good  health.
