So I have had the LIS surgery done 12 days ago now and for the first 6 days was in quite a bit of pain around the incision area so my doctor gave me oral morphine to take, I was taking it for 6 days every 3/4 hours even through the night so I guess quite a lot! 5 days ago I stopped it as the pain had gone and my stitches were healing really well, the day after I stoped the morphine I have had constant stomach ache and diarrhoea after everything I eat or even if I don't eat infact even if I drink! I do have ibs but it's been contorolled I usually only go once in the morning and twice around period time, so this is not normal for me as an every day thing, today I have been 6 times, my fissure is really sore now and feels like it's getting worse not better, has anyone else has the same reaction from stopping oral morphine? As I wasn't told to wean of it! My doctor is now suggesting to go back on it at a low does and wean myself off but surely what's the point if I have done 5 days and I don't actually need it for pain?
