I'm a week into having the peg put in...this has been absolute hell. The Drs waited until I reached a certain weight when I think they should have been watching the strength of my core muscles. I am staying so drugged to just deal with it all. The dr increased my gabapentin and baclofen to help with the spasms that I'm having around the tube. Also to take Xanax and flexiril. I can barely walk I'm on so much! The spasms and pain have been effecting my breathing so I know they are just trying to help me with that. I can't use my trilogy or cough assist because it kills me to use those muscles.
Also my case will be a little different--when my dr got in I had significant scar tissue on my diaphragm, colon, small intestine, and stomach that had to be removed due to my gastric bypass surgery. I keep thinking maybe that is why my pain is so much worse than should be expected.
