Today I had my PEG fitted. I had it at about 11am and took painkillers pretty much straight afterwards but they didn't make any difference. I was in so much pain by about 3pm we phoned the Hospital and they said to go to my Doctor and get stronger painkillers...so I did. I took them over 3 hours ago and the pain just seems to be getting worse. It feels like I've been kicked in the stomach/ribs, I expected to have some pain but not this much!! I can't even stand up straight because it feels like something stopping me from doing so. Every time I move (even slightly) it just hurts so badly.
Did anyone else experience this much pain? How long does the pain last? Any tips for easing off the pain? (even a little bit!)
Thank you
