Sorry to be yuck but I am in agony. Had my tonsils out two weeks ago, and last week was agony, and I was given solpadol, which helped with the pain but really bunged me up (sorry). Haven't had any for two days now but walked home from work with the most horrendous tummy cramps, which were truly worse than contractions, and have spent three hours on the toilet in agony, feeling light headed, hot and sick. Should I just put this down to coming off such strong pain killers? I haven't eaten anything that could have given me a dodgy tummy and the waves of pain are just horrible What should I do to ease the pain?

Poor you. Probably the codeine in the solpadol has caused the constipation. Do you feel any better since having diarrhoea? Have you tried a hot water bottle on your stomach? That might ease the stomach cramps.
As you say, it could be a delayed reaction to being so bunged up.
