stomach

1733249 tn?1310306565 The sternum is painful (mostly all the time)and hurts to push on it. I also have slight stomach and under ribs pain. LOTS of belching and a bloated feeling. Went to ED and they did blood work, ekg, etc. I am under lot of stress at the moment. This seems to me to be a stomach and or esophogus issue. I have been taking prevacid for years and never had this problem before. Last night I took a vicodin and it felt much better. Maybe took care of the pain or relaxed me to stop worrying.
Avatar f tn Constipation can cause severe stomach pain similar to what you are describing. Are you wanting to quit the pain pills? If so, you have found the right place. You can do it and we can help.
Avatar n tn The er gave me a prescription for vicodin bevause of stomach pains, I haven't taken it but is this normal?
Avatar f tn 5/750 for several months and all the tylonel is starting to upset my stomach. Does anyone know the different strengths of vicodin so I can try something different?
Avatar f tn I am begining to think it is not related to the wd. I googled head pain and stomach pain b4 I realized the stomach thing was wd. I really thought I was having an aneurism! (some what of a hypochondriac! lol!) But, someone mentioned they get head pain b4 their menstrual. I never have but I am going on 46 so I am wondering it the start of the change or something. thanks for your input! I sure appreciate it!

532258 tn?1213194086 after asking a million docs about withdrawal symptoms of vicodin es, none seem to know. after a fatal accident, yup, fatal, 14 yrs ago, I was put on vicodin es for massive pain after craineotomy. last 2 yrs, when I run out, (once in a while while taking it, not often) I have massive diarrhea and nausea. My Gastro doc has done every test under the sun, and believe it or not, the vicodin is the only thing that will STOP the diarrhea.
Avatar f tn she was diagnosed with IBS and wanted Vicodin for that stomach pain. Finally the doctors convinced her and my parents that it was not OK to use Vicodin for that as it was ruining her stomach lining. But since then, she keeps coming up with reasons to need Vicodin...first a UTI, then a kidney or bladder infection, then more menstrual troubles. And she puts herself through all these tests for these illnesses but nothing ever comes back as conclusive. I'm so worried.
Avatar n tn For each of these I was prescribed either hydrocodone (vicodin) and tylenol 3. I have terrible reactions to these meds.I feel sick to my stomach, very dizzy, and I usually end up vomiting or having dry heaves (not fun when you have abdominal stitches for a gallbladder extraction.) They didn't help much with the pain either and I decided the pain was preferable to the side effects of the drugs.
Avatar f tn 2 weeks ago I had steroidal injections in my pelvis and asked for something stronger because the tramadol wasnt working. I only take the vicodin at night, but it doesnt get rid of the pain. I tried a few times to not take it, but when I dont I get very restless and get a bad headache. When I take it the heafache goes away within 10 to 20 mins and the restlessness goes awau too. I dont want to take pills all the time, I already have a bad liver from a previous surgery.
Avatar n tn You can take darviset (not sure if that is the correct spelling) or vicodin ES. Pain meds effects everyone differently something that dosesn't work for you may work for someone else and vise versa so maybe call your doctor and tell them its not working. Feel better!
892237 tn?1249841914 It has been about a month and I have been in and out of the hospital. ER doctors have not been able to tell me what is wrong. My GI dr has not given me an adequate diagnose. I suffer from severe stomach pain, it makes itself present when I eat solids or so I've noticed. The pain lasts for about 2-3 hours and it goes away on its own. Along with the pain is vomitting. I also get the sensation of having a bowel movement but nothing happens.
Avatar m tn You shouldn't be taking narcotic pain medication that isn't prescribed to you to treat this kind of pain. If you're having pain, see your doctor. Anything else is just abusing the medications, which will take you down a dark dark path. You've already admitted using your Mom's opiate pain pills to help medicate away the symptoms of anxiety and depression. That's super common, and rarely ends well. I know, you don't want to hear that...
1472677 tn?1330175915 Hello my name is Kim and I am taking myself off of Vicodin for I am having severe pain in my stomach. It has been bothering me since my menipause surgery. What is the best way to get off Vicodin? I just want to live again......
Avatar m tn The worst of physical wd symptoms do get better after about 4 days, but it takes a while for your body to recognize real pain and rebound pain. The opiates knocked out your bodies natural ability to fight off pain naturally, so it takes a bit for your brain to balance out. Opiates can create rebound pain, meaning that when the pain comes back after the opiates wear off, the pain is more intensified. It can take a couple weeks or more to know where your real pain meter is at.
Avatar m tn I was recently in the ER (4 days ago) with severe stomach pain and was diagnosed with Gastritis. I was treated for the pain given a whole host of acid reducing medication (IV) some Hydrocodone and sent home. I was also given a perscription for an acid reducer and Vicodin. I went to see my Family doctor and he concurred with the diagnosis. I have been on the "acid reducers" for 4 days, I have only taken a few of the Vicodin because frankly I do not like the way I feel on it.
Avatar n tn I am still searching for answers but I will tell you that I have been prescribed Ultram, Ultram extended release, and Vicodin for the pain. I too hate taking the vicodin. The only thing that works for me is the regular Ultram. Don't get the extended release, it's like taking nothing at all. I take one dose of 100mg a day pretty much. I tossed the vicodin, this works much better without the side effects. It is non-narcotic. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Hey guys never actually thought I would be on this site but due to my conditions this site an the ppl seemed very helpful!..I got in a accident about 6mnths ago broke my arm fractured leg an pelvis leg popped out my pelvic so I started taking Vicodin well got addicted to them an now I'm withdrawal from them cause I stop taking them 39hrs ago.first day was hell all day stomach pain an that is my question. How long will this stomach pain last an how long before this is over?.
Avatar f tn However, I am still in alot of back pain, and now stomach burning like crazy that just started a week ago...may not be related at all. So....I am going to ask for more lidocaine patches (better than nothing!), and what else???? Can't take advil because of these stomach problems, and I already know the perils of tramadol, so I don't want that either. Thoughts???? thanks.
1182133 tn?1266851531 Now I think I need to stop the vicodin. Yest I went over 13 hrs no vicodin. Then tried to sleep and the RLS kicked in, so I took a vicodin and thought that'd help. The RLS went away but still didn't sleep.... Somebody rescue me from this HELL!!!!
Avatar n tn What I think happens is my digestive system slows down to a crawl. When I would take the vicodin which was perscribed 4 to 6 hours, the pain didn't kick in untl 8 to 9 hours. There was a delay in the pill waring off by 2 to 3 hours. I would say that a really slowed down system. Any way I'll see my regular doc today at 4 pm so I have all day since it's 9:17 am. I'm going to sleep again as it seem to be what I do when this kicks in. Thanks for the info.
910342 tn?1242748243 This seems even worse at nite, I constantly have roll side to side to ease the pain, and laying on my stomach is a death wish. Other symptoms are extreme fatigue, I feel exausted with the smallest of tasks. I also have massive heartburn and have had loose bowels for about 2yrs.Been taking prolosec repeatedly. My ankles kill after extended periods of time on my feet. Also it seems weird that my stomach is so hard when it appears I am about 20lbs overweight..shouldn't that fat be soft?
Avatar f tn I am a nurse. I am also an addict with 19 days of sobriety from extreme abuse of Norco for more than 5 years. If she is taking Phenergan for her stomach, that is an old addict's trick of taking Phenergan with a narcotic pain med to enhance the "high". I cannot personally imagine going thru detox and being "sleepy"! Miserable, thrashing around in the bed, praying for death as a sweet release, all of the above, but NOT dozing off!
Avatar n tn Usually NSAID's taken with Vicodin are quite effective in controlling pain if you are not used to taking Narcotics. I take an NSAID twice a day and Vicodin a couple of times a day as well. The only problem I have ever encountered are stomach irritation with the NSAID. There are contraindications in taking them together and if that is what you doctor prescribed then it should be fine.
Avatar n tn could I have possibly already developed a little bit of a physical dependence on the Vicodin, and that my stomach issues are actually withdrawal-related? I don't feel like there was any emotional dependency at all and my pain didn't increase after not taking it over the weekend. So....how likely would it be that someone would become dependent on Vicodin after only 5 weeks? Thanks for any comments!
