Still on morphine after operation help

Hi Ladies,

I hope you are keeping well. I had my ovaries removed in October 14 th and a mirena coil put in. I did have a few problems I was left with a catheter for 2 weeks but I have had that removed now but I’m still in a lot of pain from the coil I feel like I’m having contractions. I went to see my consultant and he explained I had a lot of adhesions from my last operation back in 2019 and I could be reforming more adhesions on the right side of my bowel wall. I’m scared 😳 I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ what to do I don’t want to have to take morphine all the time!! I was never told about these adhesions until 6 weeks after operation when I phoned up and said I’m in a lot of pain. I’m not sure where to go from here maybe I just need to give it time sorry I’m emotional menopausal mess🥺 x
