I've been taking Vicodin for 10 years. Two month ago I developed pain in my bowel. I can hardly walk. If I walk 200 feet I have a lot of pain in my bowels. CT scan didn’t show anything so I’m getting a Colonoscopy in about two weeks and if that doesn’t show anything then I might have Narcotic Bowel Syndrome however I don’t have the system they describe just the pain. So if the Colonoscopy doesn’t show anything I figure I have to get off of the Vicodin. But how do I do that when in so much pain? Any suggestions. I’m really deprecated and worried.

Not sure what you're taking Vicodin for but have you considered using medical marijuana instead? It's also known to help with gut issues and all types of physical pains (cancer, MS, IBS and more) if it's attainable where you live I strongly suggest you look into it as a replacement for your Vicodin and your new gut issues...of course it's a good idea to investigate what exactly is causing your gut issues too.
