Had Elbow Surgery, Prescribed Endone For Severe Pain, Causing Severe Stomach Ache. Cause For Pain?
Hi, I had elbow surgery and its been 1 week. I was prescribed endone for severe pain along with other pain killers. Tonight at 10 pm had endone just before went to bed on empty stomach . I had dinner at 6 pm. since then I couldn t sleep. Had terrible stomach ache and went to toilet twice. Still hurting. What should I do?
If your elbow pain has lessened you may report back to your doc. who may withdraw some pain killers or substitute them with milder ones. I hope your doc. has given you proton pump inhibitors?h2-antagonists/antacids etc to cover up for acidity a, a common side effect with majority of pain killers.Endone should make you slightly sedated as well as it is morphine derivative.As of now, pantaprazole/rabeprazole should be prescribed ,if not done so
