Hi all
I posted a while back about pain relief as I started to get some horrible waves of pain across my whole abdomen, like the cramps you get with food poisoning but with no relief. This has developed into a searing pain on the right side just underneath my ribcage, and my GI consultant says this is consistent with where they've seen the worst inflammation.
I've been given codeine which I hope will help, but warned about this causing constipation. As I can already suffer with this anyway and almost never D, I'm now a bit wary of taking it. I'm grateful of anything that can reduce this pain as it's pretty terrible, but obviously I don't want to swap one problem for another. Is there anything I can do to reduce this unwanted side effect?
Thanks in advance!
