    Yes, the surgeon can give med to help. If its bowel spasm - bentyl if its muscle spasm- flexeril. Let them know ?

  • I did and it was because my electrolytes were out of whack. The two main ones to help with muscle spasms are potassium and sodium. I am not a fan of Gatorade because it has a lot of salt, but no potas

  • Thanks you!

But as @tarocardreader says, let your team know. Also, get your fluid in!
