Yeah, if you don’t keep at least a little pain meds in your system, if it flares up you often need a shot to get it back under control. Pills are slow and you might not keep anything down. I remember driving myself to the e-room one morning, opening the door throwing up at intersections it was so bad. It will literally put you on the floor when you have a bad one. I’m familiar with the desperation that leads you to hot showers and baths, but it isn’t a muscle pull so it’s just a distraction. Avoid cars when you can, that seems to set it off. Be still. LOL
Phenergan with the pain med helps. Keeps your stomach under control quickly and being a sedative, can calm you down to give it a chance to kick in. Take your flowmax too, I imagine they gave you that as well. Wear warm ups, nothing tight.
I hope this doesn’t go on long, I hate to see anyone dealing with these bastids!
