Painkiller advice

Hello,

Just a quick question here, for those who saw my earlier thread about my Saturday in Emerg ... I was given some sort of painkiller there for the pain but it didn't really work. I was also given tylenol 3s but told to try and really watch how much I take because they can be constipating.

So, the doc at emerg said he thinks my regular doctor should try and see me Monday, to hopefully find something to make me more comfortable and perhaps rush the other tests. My question is, has anyone found a painkiller that works particularily well? A non-constipating one preferably? I was told the only real strong non-consitpating painkillers are things like Morphine and Demerol which doctors are hesistant to give...and I'm supposed to be avoiding the NSAIDS in case I do have chron's or colitis and it makes the bleeding worse.

Thanks for any advice,
Kelly
