I'm about 5 weeks post op and was having bad constipation until last week when I started to have very bad diareah. Yesterday I took imodium, I was in pain for hours, it reminded me of first few days post op pain and cramping, it lasted for hours. Has anyone else has this reaction to certain meds? Just curious.

Don't take immodium! It stops everything! My doc rx'd metamucil to control diarrhea and constipation. So far that's working better.

I haven't tried Imodium, but other meds I now have every side effect. I'm afraid to take anything lol. I took steroids for my knee inflammation, no biggie I've done it before, but not since surgery. I was so miserable. Same thing with allergy medication, it's horrible. I have noticed when I have a headache and take advil my headache goes away quickly, but can sometimes come back a few hours later.
