Today's dilemma

Painkillers stop the pain - this is a good thing.
Painkillers also give you shit like rocks - this is a bad thing.
Constipation makes the pain worse so more pain killers are needed.

OH god yeah. My mom was warned about that very thing with the pain meds for her knee surgery. I don't know if this is just her and a Mexican thing, but eating hot salsa helped clear up the constipation. What the hell - worth a try. She was eating some salsa with chips that I'd brought in and she noticed that it made her go. Then she was like "hey, get more salsa!"

Sounds good to me - chillies , tomatoes, a bit of avocado maybe what's not to love!

avoid bananas

hot salsa works as a counter-irritant

I eventually found deep breathing helped. You breathe out the pain & focus on getting rid of it. It doesn't work but you get distracted by concentrating on the breathing.

Get well soon.
