I'm on day 3 of a flare up of chronic abdominal pain . Due to side effects GP won't prescribe me anything more than 2mg diazepam and 8mg codeine and doesn't want me to take them too often. Anything more and I end up being catheterised due to retention . GP said they acknowledge I'm sore but it isn't 'life threatening' and it will go eventually if I can fight through it ..
Pain is constant and unrelenting. Blacked out Sunday night , slept most of yesterday and had a weird episode when my boss phoned and I had no idea what we were talking about. Have had to sign myself off work yet again :(
I don't know what to do. I've to walk up to the surgery for more diazepam and anti sickness stuff but I'm going mad. It's to the stage I'm punching the bed crying because it just won't go.
Have tried heat , exercise , a shower and nothing helps. Usual triggers are going to the toilet , lying flat, anything involving pelvic muscles or pelvic floor.. Have got adhesions and a cyst and waiting on a diagnostic lap to confirm/rule out endometriosis :(
I don't know what the bloody hell I can do.
