Surgery and severe cramping: Please, if anyone can help. My grandson goes in for surgery on the 29th of July, 2013. The last surgery he had he had to have a colostomy. Five days after his surgery his bowel "woke up". He screamed for 15 straight hours. No painkiller touched the pain. He was three months old with his first surgery and will be five and a half months at the time of his next surgery. Does anyone know of a supplement I can give him to ease this? The Dr. Said he could experience it again. Would vitamin D help? B vitamins? Please give me any advice.

Not sure if this will help you but I ruptured a disc in my spine and it was like sitting on a rock for 12 months..... Very painful!!! Taking a bath TRICKS the body's interpretation of the pain signal, making the brain think the pain signal is coming from a larger area.. My pain sent a strong signal from the disc & nerves but in the tub the signal was spread over the area of my body under the water... My neck down, ... soooo much less pain. Won't work if water is scary to your child... Soaking in water dehydrates, so add more in diet if using tub for relief, ask pediatrician about minerals (epsom salt)in tub water or pedialyte in beverage?
