Does Oxycodone affect bowel movements and peeing?
I fell about 24 feet off a ladder a few days ago. I have a severely sprained ankle and wrist. I was prescribed Oxycodone and Hydrocodone. Ever since I fell (6 days) I have only had one bowel movement (I usually have one every day) and I have been peeing about 5-6 times a day (I usually only go twice).
Can this be a result of the medicine? Or is it more likely the result of the fall?
Is surgery needed for bowel obstruction if the patient is passing stool?
I believe they hooked her to an iv and gave her some medicine…Do u think she will still need surgery? She is passing stool.
Is it normal to have irregular bowel movements after major surgery?
I just recently had my gall bladder removed, and have not been able to go regularly. Is it just my bowels readjusting or could it be the pain medicine that is causing the constupation. I have tried several different methods to make my self go, namely eating a lot of foods that are high in fiber, drinking plenty of water and even do the unthinkable, (taking an enema) but nothing yet.
