Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of using opiate pump for cjronis pain and now have withdrawal symptoms as mentioned by yout.
Treatment of opiate withdrawal is a speciality domain.
I would advise you the following.
Consult a Specialist in withdrawal cases for clinical evaluation, examination and investigation. Also consult a General Surgeon for the intestinal symptoms, examination and investigation such as enteroclysis under fluoroscopy as you have mentioned for kinking.
Take s diet which helps evacuation and does not cause constipation.
Take care , be prepared psychologically as your own determination is the key.
