Crapblogging - percoset and unintended consequences

I had been having a lot of problems with constipation from taking Tramadol before the surgery and the Percoset after for pain control. (Yeah yeah -- I'm an Engineer and we work it out with slide rules) Visited a Colon Irrigation place today and I feel so much better it is like night and day. The turds (when I could squeeze them out) would thud against the porcelain (at least it was a thud and not a 'tink' as reported by another reader). With this scheme, I spent 90 minutes on a comfortable contoured fiberglass bench with an anal probe up my butt that was spewing warm pure water under constant pressure. Every five or ten minutes, I would feel a bit of gas and then another chunk would calve off the mother lode. I think I am back to that Pot Roast of February 2006. Going back again Monday. Seriously, if you are on opiates or any other medication that causes constipation, this process seriously rocks!!! Posted by DaveH at September 24, 2008 6:17 PM
