Hi all,

I am 3 weeks post op for a craniotomy for a brain aneurysm. I was on morphine for 3 weeks (just stopped 2 days ago) and am on Dilantin (anti seizure med) for another 2 weeks. I was taking colace in the hospital but was constipated during my 5 days there, I eventually had relief. But this Sat. I started having chest pains, abdominal pain and diarhhea. All has persisted through the week, I have a doctor appointment today to discuss.

I have had a nervous stomach in the past but never chest pain. I do know they gave me pepcid in the hospital which I tried for a couple days with no relief.

Has anyone else had these problems with or after pain and other meds?

Morphine can cause constipation. I don't know about the other meds, though.
