Nothing worked
I have spent the last two days in hospital with a blockage in the upper bowel which is in turn causing me severe leg muscle pain. Movicol, senna, coloxyl, enemas, nulax, dulose, osmolax, all on top of a hi fibre diet. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Morphine, endone, tramadol for pain. Nothing works for that either. They are doing the mastectomy on Tuesday regardless of whether I have managed to get things working or not. I am very tired and over it, crying at the littlest things. I have tried exercise even though my legs are weak and have given under me a couple times. Also tried heat packs. Water consumption is approximately four litres a day. I will seriously try anything.

- kitkatbMemberAlways good to be back home @Blossom1961 and that the pain is minimal. Take care and hopefully you are getting pampered rotten after what you have been though. All the best. xoxSign in to react to this post
- Blossom1961MemberThank you ladies. Surgery went well, I am now home with 'hospital at home' to visit until drains come out. I have been able to do the stretches so far without any problems. Pain minimal but forget sleeping in a comfortable position, no such thing. Blockage still a thing but at least now my BC nurse is on board so she is insisting on looking into the whys so they can get it fixed and not reoccur.Sign in to react to this post

- ZoffielMemberWell, that should help @ kmakm :) I might counter with a small tub of supermarket coleslaw. We will keep vigil for you Blossom, in our own odd ways. MxxSign in to react to this post
