I am feeling ok today, but yesterday,oh man! Starting Sunday night, all of the sudden I had searing pain in my abdomen, thinking that I was going to have horrible diarreah, but nothing moved. The pain was below my belly button, around the area of my incisions from my lap, around the left side of my pelvis.(they left endo on my artery and ureter on left side). The pain would come for about 2 mins at a level 9, then subside to level 7 for about 15 mins, then go back up to level 9. This went on until I went to sleep, still no BM. Then I woke up yesterday a.m., waited about 30 mins before I gotout of bed, I was feeling fine until I stood up.Boom! The pain hit like a ton of bricks again! I was shocked that I had not had a BM yet, or some "toots" at least. I finally had a BM 4 hours later, horribly painful in my pelvis. The pain is still at about a level 4-5. I have been taking so much stinkin' Codeine, and am awaiting a physicians approval for ANOTHER refill on it. I have never had such a horrible pain from bowel movements or intestinal movements. I had to stay home from work because of the pain yesterday, and today I am loaded up on Vicodin at work.

My question is...does this marked increase in pain mean anything? I had a lap in Oct '02. Could my endo have spread far enough and this fast to cause this much pain? Or could I have formed adhesions or scar tissue this fast to cause this much pain?

I am not taking any form of treatment yet, except pain meds. Waiting for doc
