I think this is what Jessie is coping with. She is STILL in a lot of pain. They did an xray prior to the CT scan. The xray showed a large amount of stool stuck in her bowel. They did not do the CT scan because they think this is the problem.
(The doctor who found this is the one Jessie likes best, and I like best - she doesn't write off kid's input into their health!)
Jessie is on Benefiber 3 times a day (it is amazing, you truly cannot taste it in water!!! But the tablets are huge and hard, so we recommend the powdered one.). She also is taking Miralax once a day.
The pain is not getting better, it is getting worse. Sometimes she cannot MOVE, cannot even sit with-o terrible pain. This is WITH hydrocodone 5 mg. She has not slept at night since 12/22 - that is 17 days with only sleeping 2 hours or so at a time.
She is NOT a whiner, but seems to have had a really bad year.
does anyone have any experience with this, know how long it will last, anything else to help? She is eating mini-wheats and triscuits, along with lots of fruits and veggies. When she can eat.
